Leader's notes

This is a good first snow scramble for students. It is open to students in the Seattle Scrambling class and students in the CASC classes. We will take the time to practice various snow scrambling skills, depending on snow conditions.

If you are an experienced scrambler and would like to help out as an assistant leader, please let me know. There is a possibility that I will increase the number who can come in which case I would need an additional assistant.
