Itinerary: |
We will attempt to climb mount Rae in a winter setting, which will inlcude travel on steep rock/snow and ice. The terrain condition will make this trip seem quite alpine in nature and participants need to be comfortable with exposure and climbing in cold conditions.
If the conditions are ppor, we will need to select an alternative.
We will have an educational component to this trip, featuring the topic of winter scrambling as was outlined in our October 8th session
