SUMMARY:Fringe Season Backpacking: Gear Systems\, Skills\, Risk Management\, and Route Planning
DESCRIPTION:Mountain backpacking in October\, November\, and December means venturing out in the months after summer has lost its grip but before deep winter snowpack dominates the landscape. These trips demand more than standard three-season strategies but stop short of full winter expedition skills. This clinic prepares you for the unique challenges of the fringe season between fall and winter — colder temperatures\, shorter daylight hours\, uncertain weather\, and patchy snow — by teaching the gear systems\, backcountry skills\, risk management frameworks\, and route planning considerations essential for safe and rewarding backpacking during this transitional period. Completion of this seminar is required to enroll in Unlimited Members Field Trips offered in October\, November\, and December.
