Hi Folks,

I'm offering a free workshop this Friday morning on basic ice axe and self-arrest skills for winter hiking and climbing.   If you do any hiking on steep, snow-covered terrain, this is an essential skill to learn and practice regularly.

Date and Time:   Friday, January 9 from 8:00 am until Noon
Location:   Meet in the Robinson Lobby at 8:00 am to get outfitted with ice axes (and boots if needed);  then we'll drive up to the Skiway for the workshop and practice
Equipment:

  *   Ice axe (provided)
  *   Warm winter boots; stiff sole preferred (provided if needed)
  *   Gaiters (helpful if you have them)
  *   Warm winter clothing, including hat and gloves/mittens (it's cold out there this week!)
  *   Wind/rain/snow pants (for sliding)
  *   Day pack with extra clothes, water bottle, etc.

Please send me an email or call 6-2356 to sign up.  Participation limited to the number of van/bus seats available.

Cheers!
Dan
