As part of the Training and Leadership Committee's
activities, we will be leading an aspiring trip
leader outing to a front range scramble. We will
be heading up a moderately rated scramble and will
choose the objective based on the prevailing
conditions and weather forecast.
The day will see us review trip planning right
from the initial planning of the trip to the final
good byes at the end of the day. As we meet up at
the car pool site and then during the actual
scramble, we will look at the various aspects of
trip leading, engaging in group discussion,
scenarios as well as each of us taking the lead
throughout the day.
This trip is open for those members that are not
yet trip leaders and wish to be vetted to lead
trips this summer, as well as those that may wish
to refresh their skills. Please ensure that you
have current first aid training or will have this
training in the next 2 months.
