Sept 14, 2022 | 6:00 pm Mountain Time | Free Webinar
Autumn in the mountains is a time of change, with many different conditions possible: Rain or snow, heat or bitter cold. However, it is also one of the least crowded times of year to go hike or climb a fourteener. Join my free webinar to learn about picking a peak, research, packing, emergency prep, and more – specifically for climbing fourteeners in the fall months of September, October, November, and early December. Can’t attend on Sept 7th? Register anyway and we will share a video recording with you to watch later. See you there!
