[pct-l] Mt. Humphrey Expedtion

[Reinhold Metzger]

Sorry,
Reinhold will not be available for rescue missions, he will be at Scott and
Michelle's Wedding.
You guys will be on your own.
 Besides, there is no need for a restaurant, Switchback & Meadows Ed have
enough spare calories between the two of them to make it down without any
problem.

members will arrive in Flagstaff on Thursday, May 31 to check out the local
scene.  Copious amounts of food will be consumed at Cracker Barrel
restaurant and then partying with the local mountaineers.

On Saturday the summit push will be executed no matter the dangers and lack
of oxygen.  After some time at the summit, an orderly retreat will be made
back to civilization.
