Leader's notes

All winter scrambling gear is required. Snowshoes with crampons (not Tubbs or something you got at Costco) are also required. This will be a slow-and-steady pace but expect to plunge step. We will evaluate conditions as we head up and have a group meeting at the base of the chute to deliberate whether to go or not.
