This required evening workshop is an introduction to the scramble course and an open-house, expo-style event to meet our instructors and leaders and get an up-close look at the gear needed for scrambling. The workshop has two parts.

First, we will explain what exactly scrambling is and cover some logistics for the course.  Next, we will break out for a hands-on exploration and discussion of the gear needed for scrambling. A lot of this gear is common to hiking and backpacking, but we also add in some more technical equipment, such as helmets, boots, and ice axes!

The instructors will bring their scramble packs for show-and-tell, and you are welcome to bring any gear you have questions about.

The workshop starts promptly at 6:30pm and runs until approximately 8:30pm.

The meeting will be at the Mountaineers Seattle Program Center. It will start promptly at 6:30pm and run until approximately 8:30pm.
