Field trip: Alpine Scrambling Course

Scramble Skills Day – Twin Sisters TH

All students must successfully complete the Scramble Skills Field Day to participate in scramble trips. Scrambling requires dry weather. In the event we need to reschedule for weather, instructors will work with students to schedule an alternate weekend.
