Single Tall Pole Hiking – Mt Galbraith
This clinic will cover the basic techniques for improving your efficiency ascending and descending on trails and peak climbs using a Single Tall Pole (STP). The STP enables you to reduce impact on joints, reduce excess muscle strain and eliminate the damaging plunge step. You will feel the enhanced stability and balance as the STP enables you to concentrate on effective solid foot placements (i.e., better traction), which makes your backcountry travel easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

Hiking – South Valley Park
This is an Octogenarian (Octo) Hike for those who have aged out of normal CMC hikes, or anyone who finds CMC's traditional Easy hikes more than they want or can do. Octo Hikes are slower paced, have shorter distances, less elevation gain, and more frequent stops than typical Easy A hikes. This will be an easy and short out and back hike with beautiful views of red rocks and South Valley with restrooms at start and turnaround points. If you wish, bring a snack and we can eat at picnic tables at North Trailhead after the hike. You can leave your snack in your car.

Hiking – Shelf Lake
This is a 7 mile out and back. This will be exploratory for me.
