This trip is ideal for students new to self-arrest and for graduates who haven't practiced their self-arrest skills in a while. We will spend the morning refreshing and practicing self-arrest skills. Everyone should practice their skills periodically. After lunch, we will head to the summit.
Note on pacing: we will move at a slow to moderate pace. If you are looking for an aerobic workout, find a different trip.
If you would like to be an assistant leader, let me know, especially if you are interested in becoming a scramble instructor or leader.
Brickyard Park and Ride lot near Woodinville, 7:00 am. Alternatively, if you notify me in advance, you can meet us at the Sultan Park and Ride lot at 7:40.
