SOS, JAW (Just Another Way) HOT

"Just another way," a last minute post with no particular way to go on Red Spring Peak.

Same Old Scrambling is expected to be a mile or so; maybe a couple of miles, with an elevation gain of just over 700 feet to the Red Spring peak at 4,304 feet. Can't offer much more of a description.

Hike: S.O.S. - J.A.W. – Closed loop
Trailhead: Red Spring Park parking lot
Distance: 2ish miles
Elevation gain: 900 +/- feet
Elevation peak: 4,304 feet
Time: 2ish hours
Class: 3
Pace: Slow to Moderate
Children/Dogs: No

You will need at least 2-3 liters of water in warm weather, snacks/lunch for the peak, sunscreen, hat/sunglasses, etc. Light colored cotton shirts are better for hot weather, bring layers for cool weather, oven mitts or gloves for the hot rocks on hot days.

In addition to the electronic liability waiver information above, on advice of counsel, I now require each hiker to sign a written liability waiver, which I will provide at the meetup location. If you are unwilling to provide me this waiver, please do not request to go on my hikes.

I request that each hiker carry emergency instructions with them on each hike. This information should be easy to find in their packs and include their name, emergency contact person(s) and phone numbers and maybe even primary care physician and pertinent medical info like prescription medications being taken, allergies, etc.
