Wonderful, thanks. And yes, the ropes part was only if we went with the guides on the Mountaineers route since they have guaranteed access dates.
Good to know about the unpaid release date. I don't even have to wake up early because I'm on the east coast. (unless they are releasing them at midnight pacific time?) Well, that would be worth it.
Plan B is excellent to know, thank you. I'll note those ideas as we put together the itinerary.
