Calico Scramble (LBMR)

This is scramble is in the Calico Hills following most of the RPG/Linda Brock Memorial route with several major variations. We will start from the "elbow" going up to the saddle of Guardian Angel pass. From there we climb to the top of the ridge to the west and traverse back along the west side of the Calicos towards Calico I and back to parking area via routes I've hiked with Rick W. and others. This hike is a fun, but serious route, with great views of the Las Vegas Valley and Red Rock Canyon so bring a camera/phone.

Dress according to the weather forecast. Light colored cotton shirts are recommended in hot weather. The wait list is set to automatic. If you decide you can't attend after RSVP'ing please update accordingly.

I try to always carry a Spot GEN3 emergency notification device on my hikes to get help in the shortest amount of time in the event of any emergency requiring SAR or medical help, even without cell or data cell phone coverage. 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.
