A pleasant winter scramble, half on a snowmobile track, half on a wooded ridge, to an unspectacular peak with a nice view. There is not a lot of reason to scramble this peak except for the opportunity to do it on its eponymous day with other fools. Clown costumes encouraged.
Note this has been a popular trip with a long waitlist in the past; sign up as soon as registration opens if you are interested, but only if you are committed to prioritizing the trip.
