Field trip: Alpine Scrambling Course

Conditioner - Mount Rose

Conditioner for Olympia Alpine Scrambling Students.

  • Very Strenuous
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 6.4 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 3,500 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 4,300 ft
  • Pace: 2mph

Meet at the Mt. Rose Trailhead at 7:30 am.  We will try to be hiking by 7:45 am.

Bring snowshoes and trekking pole(s).  The  snow will make this a bit more that just a hike so be prepared for this to be strenuous.

Since we missed the Basic Skills Field Trip, we will check 10 Essentials in the parking lot, try a navigation exercise and, if we find a suitable lull, maybe practice knots.  To practice knots, as least bring one prusik cord and a piece of webbing.
