Kitsap Alpine Scrambling Committee

Alpine scrambling is non-technical climbing of ridges, peaks, and high routes. Glacier travel is not a part of alpine scrambling, and ropes are used only for emergency situations. However, you'll be trained to handle emergencies by other experienced Mountaineers.

In preparing for your scrambles; You'll learn about informed equipment choices, conditioning, basic navigation and route-finding, and proper rock, snow, and ice skills necessary to get you to the top. You'll also become a steward by practicing Leave No Trace ethics in the fragile alpine environment.

Graduates can sign up for scrambles with any Mountaineers branch.
