Leader's notes

This will be a scramble up Copper mountain from Wagon wheel lake. Current satellite images still show a possible snow approach from the lake up Copper mountain. If time and conditions permit we may also go after Cub peak as well. All participants will be expected to help with navigation and group decision making.
