A snow scramble for women scramblers and those who identify as women. First priority to women scramble students from any branch through Sunday 5/12; open to women scramblers and climbers beginning on Monday 5/13.
Come enjoy a fun snow scramble with a group of sister women scramblers! We will not be stopping to explicitly practice self-arrest, but there will be plenty of opportunity to practice navigation and other snow skills in a supportive environment. We will use walking in balance on steeper slopes, terrain evaluation, and very possibly glissading. All participants will be expected to be actively engaged in navigation, trail breaking/ step kicking, and group decision-making. We aim for a team that is supportive of each other; "one for all and all for one".
Destination will be shifted should weather or snow conditions indicate. A note on pacing: I mentioned a moderate pace, but know that I fall on the slower side of moderate. We will seek to move as a team, so please be comfortable with this.
Longmire at 8:00am. National Park Pass or entry fee required to enter the Park. We will suggest options for carpooling if desired.
