Alpental will most likely still be operating, so we will hike to a camping location between Source and Snow lakes.This field trip will focus on introducing basic climbing class students to the basics of snow belays, snow anchors, crevasse rescue, traveling together on a rope, and snow camping.  

8:00 a.m. at uppermost Alpental parking lot.
