Since this trip is open to non-members, register directly here on this page. For all other  Pathfinders and Explorers registration, use the corresponding course pages.

Every year, Pathfinders and Explorers hosts a Kick-Off Trip which serves as a try-out for prospective new members and a chance for all returning members to get reacquainted with one another over a day of rock climbing and/or hiking.

This trip is community focused and should give anyone new to our programs a good idea of what our culture is like. Interested members need not pay/commit to the club before attending this trip, and will be invited to make their decision to join or not after this trip. 

9 Am at trailhead

We will meet at the trailhead for Dirty Harry's Balcony at 9am.
