Happy Friday Everyone, 

The Scout Buck auction is on the calendar.  Time to start cleaning your room to find all those bucks.

Ice Climbers,

Ice climbing is this weekend. We will be trying to leave as close to 4:30 pm as possible from the church parking lot. Please bring a travel dinner. We will have a cracker barrel once we get there. If for any reason this time doesn't work for you; please let me know so that I can communicate a new time as soon as possible.

Please remember to bring your tote with a cot if desired and/or a sleeping bag. Your fully completed waiver. Your medical forms A and B. As well as the packing list that was recommended by the camp, listed below.

Waterproof pants and Jacket for winter conditions. Please be aware the crampons are sharp and may cut your pants if your not careful.

Gloves. Tight fitting so that you can grip the Technical Ice Axe as you climb. Waterproof gloves work the best and you may need to bring two sets.

Sunglasses or ski goggles. Depending on weather conditions goggles may be necessary to stay warm and continue climbing.

Wool or Fleece hat. To wear under the helmet to stay warm as you climb. Along with any other winter clothing to stay warm.

All participants will need an Ice Climbing Waiver. You can find this on the Ice Climbing page https://s3.amazonaws.com/storage.pikespeakbsa.org/event/docs/7588/ice_climbing_waiver.pdf and on our campalexander.org page.
