If avalanche conditions or weather are subpar for this scramble, it will be cancelled. The leader will not make an attempt to identify an alternative activity for the day.

This is a great moderate winter scramble for people who may not have been out a lot yet this season. Leader is coming directly from a season of rock climbing in Joshua Tree, California. As such, it is necessary that the pace stays moderate, with 5-10 minute breaks once per hour for sunscreen/water/food/other needs.
