Lichenberg mountain snow scramble

First summit scramble out of the three required to graduate from Alpine scrambling course.

A relatively easy hike rated S2/T2 ( strenuous 2 , Technical 2)
Climbed slopes to an unnamed mountain at approx. 5000 ft , as we could not navigate to  Lichenberg initially.  We ended up meandering and the total trip was over  10 + mile hike. When we did find it, it was rock climb with no snow and so turned back. Saw some small snow fall starting into a small avalanche as well.
Time to go up:  5 hrs ; Time to go down : 3 hrs; 25 pd backpack
