Trip
Alpine Scramble - Mount Pilchuck/East Ridge
A key-exchange traverse of Mt Pilchuck and the bathtub basin. Half of the group will traverse the mountain west to east and half will traverse east to west, exchanging car keys in the middle. In addition to the ripe blueberries, this trip features stunning autumn foliage and tarns sometimes warm enough to swim in.
