Basic Alpine Climb - Unicorn Peak

Unicorn Peak early season climb. Expect an extra 3-mile approach due to gate closure. 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. 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.
