Hey guys,
This is killing me...what is it called when someone hikes up early in the morning before the sun comes out? They would be hiking in the dark. I think it's called a "_____ Start". But im not sure. I thought one of you would know for sure. Could someone tell me what it's called because it's been annoying me all week!!!
THanks,

It's called an "alpine" start. The other end of the spectrum is starting at the crack of noon.

Yes! The only way to get a late start on the weekend and still get a shelter at the lake!!!

Night time is one of my favorite times to tromp around. Watching the sun come up is alaways a great way to start any day on the mountain!
