Leader's notes

This all day field trip takes place in the Bean Creek Basin area of the Cascades north of the town of Cle Elum on I-90.

Here you will learn and practice the skills taught at the earlier field trips as part of a real live scramble trip up to the summit of one of the many peaks in the area. There should be plenty of snow and rock to practice your steep snow, self-arrest, glissading, rock scrambling, and navigation skills.

This listing is a placeholder; there will be multiple separate destinations that will each get its own listing and registration online. Each separate trip will have about 6 students.
