Basic Alpine Climb - Foss Peak
The Basic Alpine climb is prioritized for Kitsap branch members. Other branches, please email your interest and I will place you on the offline waitlist. Please do not use the Mountaineers notification system associated with the climb. Simply send me an email. If seats are available, and there are no Kitsap branch members on the online waitlist, I will confirm your availability then manually add you to the climb.
