Trip
Winter Scramble - Mineral Butte
This is a 1 day scramble, but I've blocked 2/28 & 3/1 because we will pick the better weather day with a preference for 2/28. Beautiful views are supposedly available on the summit. Please read leader's notes.

Scramble will be on 2/28 or 2/29 with preference for 2/28.
Moderate/social pace, but we will be moving steadily. Participants need to be patient and flexible. Do not plan anything for the evening. Bad weather or bad avy conditions will cancel this trip.
A planning email will be sent on 2/26 or 2/27.
