CaleHoopes Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The Bushwhacker Climbing Club is opening up registration for the Backcountry Scramble Course which we put on every year. We're really starting to get some momentum in the club and would like to have you join us to get some scrambling experience and skills. The Backcountry Scramble Course offers in-depth training in wilderness navigation, unroped travel through moderately exposed areas, ice axe skills, and techniques for travel in adverse weather conditions. We will practice and climb classic Cascades scrambling routes. An overnight outing in snow country teaches snow camping techniques and provides the chance to reach deeper into the mountains. NOTE: The biggest difference between this course and our glacier skills course is that there are no glaciers involved. The makeup of the course is Lectures on Thursday nights in June, a day outing for navigation skills, a day outing of snow skills and scrambling, an overnight outing involving a fantastic scramble in the Cascades! Lectures will be held in Issaquah on Thursday Nights in June. The course is a fantastic and inexpensive way to get some great outdoor travel skills and feel comfortable scrambling peaks in the Cascades. The club offers other endeavors for after graduation: Leadership, Advanced Crevasse Rescue, Snow Shelter, Climbing, Outings all over the cascades and monthly social gatherings. Come join us! The registration process is by application and all applications will be reviewed through now and April 15 with an awarding of a spot sometime before May 1st. More details and the application can be found here: Backcountry Scrambling Course Also, if you want direct details or have questions, you can email me at caledh@gmail.com. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the Bushwhacker's or the course. APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY April 15th to bwcc_information@bushwhackerclimbingclub.org. Thanks!
