  • Very Strenuous, Winter Scramble
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 13.2 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 4,150 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 4,965 ft
  • Pace: low end of moderate

We will bike as far as feasible on the Bessemer road, proceed on foot up to the saddle between Moolock and South Bessemer, then take the east ridge up to the summit of Moolock.  The pace will be steady but by no means fast. The trip will only go if avalanche conditions are moderate or less for the slopes we will be on.  E bikes are welcome if you don't mind taking a long break waiting for the rest of us to catch up.

No scrambles students please.
