Prerequisites:

Winter scramble participants should know basic snow travel, how to put on a crampon, and how to use an ice axe. Students should have completed Snow 1 by the trip date. 
If a MAC member wants to participate, but has not taken the Snow 1 course then the participant will need instructor permission. Please message the instructor with your snow travel experience and whether or not you know how to use crampons/ice axe.

MAC students who have participated in alpine climbs will be allowed to participate in scrambles automatically - If the scramble will involve snow travel, at least one of those alpine climbs should be a glacier climb and if the scramble will involve more rock, the alpine climb should be an alpine rock route. The exact experience requirements are up to the discretion of the leader.
