Lemah Mountain/Southeast Approach

Trip

Basic Alpine Climb - Lemah Mountain/Southeast Approach

A trip to a rarely visited peak in the Alpine Lakes; if time permits, we may look in on Chikamin Peak too.

  • Elevation Gain: 6,000 ft

TBA

This is a tough trip, but with lighter packs since we won't need full rock climbing gear; we will pick the two best days out of the schedule (or three if there's party interest in doing Chikamin too).  First preference to climbing graduates from past years, and basic climbing equivalents.  Note, that since this is a basic alpine climb, current climbing students will not be able to use this trip for graduation credit.
