Red Spring - Going Somewhere

Join me for a moderately intensive scramble (mostly class 3, some 3+ or more) "Going Somewhere" on Red Spring Peak. This is a scramble, not a trail hike, and we don't have a route planned, we don't plan on going fast, but will be taking extra short breaks. *It's usually a different route each time since I forget where I went last time. If you need to know where we're heading, like to be out front and have little patience for slow hikers, this is not the scramble you're looking for. You do, however, need to be able to stay with the group and not unnecessarily slow progress by taking photos or phone calls. Might take as long as two hours, doubt if I'll last for 3, so I will post as 2:20 hours. There is no prescribed route for this scramble and it is usually different each time since that makes the organizer happy.
