This will be a very ambitious and strenuous trip with long days. Participants must be in very good physical condition. Be comfortable scrambling class 3 rock without a rope and climb/descend steep snow.

Basic climbing students will need to satisfactory complete all field trips in order to participate.

Day One:

We will approach via the Dungeness River trail and make camp well above Boulder Shelter. After setting up camp we will scramble Cloudy Peak and several of the Alphabet Ridge peaks, then return to camp.

Day Two:

We will scramble up and over Cloudy Peak, climb NW Warrior Peak, descend to the Col between NW & SE Warrior Peaks and then climb SE Warrior Peak. We will then decide the best route up The Brave before returning to camp and hiking out.
