Trip
Alpine Scramble - Wedge Mountain
This is a moderate scramble of about 2400' gain and 4.5 miles. While it is quite a drive, it is not frequently done and should be interesting. It is about 90% on a developed trail and the rest on climber's trails or off trails. Views are great, and the final summit block is great climbing!
