Winter Scramble - Teanaway Ridge

Parked at the side of US 97 junction. Parking for 4 cars available.  Below is excerpt from trip email sent to participants

Meeting time: Saturday February 15th at the  Junction of Blue creek Forest road and US -97 here : https://maps.app.goo.gl/cd6kASZdQPFvpR9C7

What to expect in this trip : 

This should be a moderate to strenuous climb - gaining 2800 feet over 5 miles (one way). Summit success is only possible if everyone takes turns breaking trail and helping with navigation.  It will be a good conditioning trip in winter, when most of the mountains are covered with unconsolidated snow or getting more snow/rain dumped on. We will also have great views if it is cloudy or partially sunny. The main goal for this trip is to go out and get a work out. In summer the approach is a trail, but in winter, there will be much more snow - making it scramble. So please come prepared to help with navigation. 

We will park the cars at the junction at US97 and Blue creek. Walk 2.5 miles on the forest road to the Blue creek trail number 1364.2. The entire section should be in avalanche safe terrain. 

After we hit the trail (which I suspect will be hard to find under the snow) - we will encounter a lot of fresh snow to break the trail and gain the ridge that goes to Teanaway ridge. This will be done along a spine which runs perpendicular to the final destination ridge itself.
