About this event

Earn your Thanksgiving dinner with a turkey day cardio scramble! I'm posting this as a moderate pace but I'll adjust to the group's pace whether it's slower or faster as needed. We'll go to Turkeyhead Jr (Turtlehead Jr) via the Double-Slot Route and then over to Cranberry Sauce Peak (Calico Tanks Peak). HASLV members can earn a Turtlehead Jr Double Slot route chip or a Generic L3 chip. There's challenging scrambling and steep climbs that will get your heart pumping! It's mostly class 3 with some short class 4 sections. There's one optional rope and sections where you must stem and be able to pull up your entire bodyweight. There are some technical climbs/obstacles but more adventurous beginner scramblers looking for a challenge can definitely do this route. STATS: Distance: \~2.5 miles Elevation gain: \~1,400 feet Elevation peak: 4,943 feet Time: 3.5 - 4.5 hours (depending on group size and pace) Bring a minimum of 2 liters of water, snacks, sunscreen, hat, and presents for your organizer. Contact Card: Put a 3x5 card in your pack with 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.
