Trip
Basic Alpine Climb – State Forest State Park - Static-Richthofen Traverse
This is a long but rewarding day in the alpine environment of the Never Summer Mountains. We will travel through multiple land holdings including: State Forest State Park, Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Views are spectacular. This is a mountaineering adventure which requires scrambling skills and gear for both rock and snow terrain. We will be moving on terrain up to class 3 in difficulty as well as snow which makes movement over talus far easier. Experience and skills for both rock and snow as taught in ASC and BMC are required for this trip. Scrambling is a strenuous activity, especially in the alpine. To keep up with the group, be safe and to have fun, you will need to be in good shape.
