Participants: This
trip is open for people with a variety of
skills/experience
who want to be competent & contributing members
of an alpine team. Maybe you have taken an
alpine related course, but haven't been out
much without a guide. Could be you haven't
alpine climbed for a few years and would like
to shake the rust off in a supportive
environment. Maybe you've already enjoyed
mountain activities like rock or ice climbing,
scrambling, or skiing and would like to step it
up and apply that to Alpine climbing.
The Plan:
We'll head up a moderate
alpine climb (most likely Boundary Peak) with
the trip leaders acting as rope leaders. This
peak
involves a mixture of pitched out ice climbing
((WI2+), glacier travel, and easy scrambling.
Expect to be on the move for a 10-12 hour day.
We'll be moving
consistently at a moderate pace & focusing on
efficient team transitions, but won't be
expecting to set any speed records. This trip
is posted for Saturday, but if weather
conditions dictate, we may move to Sunday.
Prerequisites: Participants should
have some previous exposure to travelling in
roped terrain (glacier travel and/or rock/ice
climbing), and be able to competently belay a
leader. Please send a summary of
relevant experience/courses to
susan.twitchell(at)gmail.com.
