Climb Leader: Beta Exchange

Activity Notes

Beta Exchange: A Gathering for Climb Leaders, LD Candidates & Committee Members

Join us for the next Beta Exchange—a casual evening to connect with fellow Mazamas, swap stories and beta, and get inspired for next season.

This time, we’re opening the event to committee members from Trail Trips, BCEP, ICS, AR, and SSI as well as Climb Leaders and Leadership Development candidates. We hope it will be a fun opportunity to connect across programs and introduce more climbers to the Climb Leader community.

Featured Presentation: Sahale Peak & Shark Fin Tower

Presented by Darren Ferris and Matt Gantz

Darren and Matt will share their recent two-day double climb of Sahale Peak and Shark Fin Tower in Boston Basin, one of the North Cascades’ classic alpine settings.

They’ll talk through the approach, stream crossings, glacier travel, low-level rock climbing, rappelling, and what it took to link these two iconic peaks over two days. Come hear the beta, the challenges, and the lessons learned along the way.
