Leader's notes

This all day field trip takes place in Teanaway area of the Cascades north east of Salmon la Sac.

Here you will learn and practice the skills taught at the earlier field trips as part of a real live scramble trip up to the summit of one of the many peaks in the area. There is always plenty of snow and rock to practice your steep snow, self-arrest, glissading, rock scrambling, and navigation skills.

Meeting place and time

8am Boulder Creek Trailhead.
