Alpine Scrambling

Alpine scrambling is non-technical climbing involving off-trail travel, often over rock, snow, or brush, to mountain summits. Most Northwest mountain summits are accessible by scramble routes. Scrambling is sometimes characterized as filling the niche between hiking and climbing.

Everett Mountaineers scramble trip participants must be graduates of the Alpine Scrambling Course or basic climbing course, offered by any branch of The Mountaineers.

The Everett Mountaineers Alpine Scrambling program sponsors scrambles year-round, including winter scrambles.The Archive has examples of past trips.
