Map
Cruxes
The southern part of the range holds most of the semi-technical scrambling. Below are some of the more difficult sections. Anything over Class 3, I’ve noted below. Some scrambling sections are difficult to grade with a YDS rock grade, but may contain difficult route finding, loose rock, and snow. I’ve neglected many of the sections that contain beaucoup Class 3 sections, as these are found throughout the range. Staying as close to the ridge crest as possible will up the difficulty significantly. Of particular note, the ridge from “Obstruction Peak” to Mt. Adams is particularly loose.
