Leader's notes

7 a.m. start time is squishy right now. If we can, we will sleep in cars Saturday night in the climbers' parking lot. If we can't do that, we'll get dinner in Ashford, camp on the Nisqually River after the scramble class, and truck back up to Paradise at 6 a.m.

Average pace down low will be 1,000ft/hr. Above Panorama Point, we may slow down a little due to altitude. The pace generally slows a bit above 8,000ft. If someone experiences altitude sickness, there will be a leader to sit with them in place or begin descending together. The goal is to be at Camp Muir by 2 p.m. We will have light in the sky until 8:30 or so, but will set a hard turnaround time.

Once again, this is primarily for 2025-26 KITSAP SCRAMBLE STUDENTS needing a graduation scramble.

Meeting place and time

7 a.m. by the bathrooms next to the Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise.
