Alpine Scramble - Kloochman Rock/Southwest Route

Meeting place and time 8:00 AM at Tumwater Fred Meyer

Leader's notes Kloochman Rock – Southwest Route USGS Tieton Basin or GT Rimrock Ref: Beckey 1 or Hiking Washington's Goat Rocks Country This is a short, fun scramble usually done as a summer route. We will probably set up a handline to protect the gully, and I’d like to attempt the summit block. Please bring snowshoes (preferred) or skis for the approach. Be prepared for winter driving on Forest Service roads – road conditions may require us to make a longer approach over level country. Bring helmet, axe, harness, carabiners & at least two prusiks. Crampons optional. Meet at Butter Butte Coffee in Packwood, 8:00 AM on 12/29/2012.
