On this day-long field trip, you will practice and apply the skills taught at the earlier field trips as part of a live scramble trip up to a non-technical alpine summit. We will encounter snow and rock to hopefully practice snow skills, self-arrest, glissading, rock scrambling, down climbing, navigation, and decision-making.
