Please dress in layers and wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking on steep and muddy trails.  Feel free to bring water and snacks for yourself, and a backpack if you have one already.  We like dogs but please leave them at home for the hike (except certified service animals)

We will hike until about 12 PM, then head over to the Mountain Shop, 1205 NE 33rd Ave, Portland, to buy our needed gear.  Afterwards, we will cut and tie our prussiks. Please print and bring the gear buying list with you.  It will make it easier for you to be organized.  If you have gear already that you might want to use for the class, please bring it to the hike so the leaders can look at it and see if it will work for your class requirements.  Please DON'T pre-buy any gear before this session as it often turns out not to work for class.
