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 goodbyes 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.
