You should have experience outdoors and be in good hiking condition with broken-in and tested gear. This is a remote backcountry project, so injuries such as sprains and blisters or even extreme fatigue from not being properly conditioned can quickly become a big safety issue.

Hike: 4/5 Strenuous: This is exposed and sometimes steep and rocky terrain.

Project Work: 3/5 Moderate-Strenuous: -- Mostly logout with some brushing and tread repair.

Possible Hazards: Intense sun exposure, creek crossings, scree & talus.
