Quickie Scramble

This is a QUICKIE SCRAMBLE WHERE WE WILL SCRAMBLE AROUND CALICO BASIN FOR A COUPLE HOURS BEFORE THE SUN SETS. Bring a headlamp just in case. This is NOT a beginner's SCRAMBLE. It will mostly be class 3 stuff with a touch of 4.Everyone starts on the wait list. STATS: Distance: ~2- 4 miles Elevation gain: ~1000ft Time: 1.5 - 2.5 hours Difficulty: 4 out of 5 Danger: 4 out of 5 Pace: Moderate - Fast What to bring: 1 - 2 liters of water, snacks, etc. Contact Card: Everyone should have a 3x5 card in their pack that has their emergency contacts on it and any pertinent medical history (allergies, meds, diabetes, etc). Place this in one of the small pockets of your pack to make it easy to find in the event that you're incapacitated. Hiking Fitness ** IMPORTANT** You need to know your pace and ability levels and you must understand that being highly physically fit in one sport or area of training does not mean you’re at that same level for hiking/scrambling. You must build up to that level as with any activity. For example, if you run marathons, it doesn’t mean you’ll be able to keep up with moderate/fast hikers. You’re using completely different muscles and moving over different terrain. Go with your “hiking” level of fitness, not your “general” level of fitness when determining the pace you can keep. Some people just move naturally faster or slower than others. It’s not good or bad. It’s just different. KNOW YOUR LIMITS!! I encourage everyone to challenge themselves, but be smart about it.
