Trip: Beckler Peak - Southeast side

Trip Report:

Allan and I climbed Beckler peak on November 17. We used the Jennifer Dunn trail, and it was a moderate snow hike/climb. We could have used snowshoes the last half mile or so, but did without. The drive to the trailhead was straightforward, and the route finding about as easy as it gets. We managed to get up and down in a weather window—so avoided rain; had a little snow—though the forecast and certainly most of the weekend was wet. It must have been my large umbrella that warded off the rain. I recommend this as a great half day “transition season” climb. In winter, the approach will be substantially longer, but very doable. And the entire route is “avalanche safe”
