Trip
Alpine Scramble - Pinnacle Peak
We'll hike up (possible on snow so bring ice axe and micro-spikes) to Pinnacle Saddle for awesome views of the Tatooh Range & Mt. Adams and then scramble up Pinnacle Peak. Preference is given to Olympia Scrambling graduates. If you are not from the Olympia branch, please state so in an email to be placed on the waiting list. A moderate pace will allow time to stop and check out the flowers and views of Mount Rainier. We can take time to practice stance, hand holds and foot place for those who wish.
