Conditioning Hike - West Tiger Mountain No. 3 Cable Line

Meeting Place - Directions from Seattle: Take I-90 eastbound exit 20, turn Right/South at the bottom of the ramp and then immediately turn Right/West onto the frontage road paralleling the interstate. In just under 0.5 mile the road ends at a gate. The gate opens daily, though it is closed and locked at 7:00 PM. The Cable Line Trailhead is on your Left/South as you drive west toward the gate, a couple hundred feet BEFORE reaching the gate.

Meeting Time:  We will (hopefully) start moving at 8:00 am, so please arrive about 15 minutes earlier to give you time to boot up and go through a short introduction, gear check, and route/Covid protocol discussion.  

This is a conditioning hike for Seattle Alpine Scrambling Course students. We will use this time to get to know fellow scramblers, test new gear, discuss the course, and get ready for a summer of peak-bagging!  We will also practice a few skills.  Covid precautions will be in effect -- social distancing and masks on in the parking lot!  (Yes, I'm vaccinated; no, this doesn't make any immediate difference in how we will interact with each other or with any members of the public we may run across.) Further Covid procedures will be discussed during the info intro (generally, as long as you keep your distance, it is okay to have the mask off while hiking, but be prepared to mask up and step off the trail at breaks and when meeting other people).
