Meet at Squak Mountain State Park at 9:00 AM. Discover Pass Required.
This hike is open to all members; however, I will prioritize Tacoma Scrambling students if we get a waitlist.
This hike will not be a class conditioner. It is oriented to those struggling to meet the conditioning standard or those that want an easier uphill day.
My dog Tilly will be joining us. She is a friendly well-behaved German Shepherd.
If the weather isn't terrible, I plan to stay at the parking lot after to share a snack and get to know our new students. This is not part of the official hike but bring snacks and beverages if you want to join me.
Required Equipment
I'll advise on Friday if we need spikes or other snow/ice related gear.
