Please make sure you can attend all classes and field trips, before registering. Also sign up for Navigation and Wilderness First Aid classes ASAP.
The Everett Alpine Scrambling Course is a comprehensive 12-week program that teaches the skills necessary to reach many Cascade and Olympic summits safely. We cover clothing and equipment, off-trail travel (on snow, rock and mixed terrain), up-climbing, down-climbing, self-belay, ice-axe arrest, glissading, avalanche awareness, mountain weather, trip planning, and emergency preparedness.
Alpine Scrambling is a strenuous activity involving off-trail travel to reach rock and snow summits following routes that do not ordinarily require ropes for protection. It does NOT involve glacier travel, roped climbing, or rappelling.
Physical fitness:
Alpine scrambling is strenuous and requires travel over uneven, unstable terrain. If you are not yet physically active regularly, please begin now. We will discuss more about fitness in our classes and you'll have some time to build up your fitness before our first trips.
PLEASE NOTE: Along with attendance at all lectures, field trips and required scrambles, there are 4 other requirements to graduate and continue scrambling with The Mountaineers.
(1) Completing a Wilderness First Aid Course. https://www.mountaineers.org/learn/courses-clinics-seminars#c9=&b_start=0&c4=First+Aid
(2) Completing a Wilderness First Aid Scenarios.
(3) Completing a Basic Wilderness Navigation Course. https://www.mountaineers.org/learn/courses-clinics-seminars#c9=&b_start=0&c4=Navigation
(4) Completing a Day of Volunteer Stewardship (Lookout or Trail Maintenance - LOTM) https://www.mountaineers.org/conserve/explore/activities#b_start=0&c4=Stewardship
