North Ridge

This is a fantastic scramble. It is definitely trickier than the south ridge. Most of the scrambling is class 3-4 until progress is impeded by gendarmes. While we believe the ridge can be kept at a stiff fourth class, we did pull a few isolated moves up to 5.4ish.

For maximum enjoyment, we recommend descending via the south ridge for a total of nearly 2 miles of fun 4th/low 5th scrambling, with amazing views.

Note: I am guessing that this scramble is grade III from a camp near Big Wet Meadow. It is a 19+ mile hike to get to the peak.

We took the Colby Pass trail to where it meets the north ridge. The best part about this route, especially when compared with

, is that the routefinding is extremely easy.

None. Scramble away!
