About the numbers. Class, mileage and elevation gain are compiled from published route guides and are approximate. Grades on technical and snow routes vary from source to source, so check current conditions before you go. Standard routes have a full description: click Full route. See Sources & credits.
A route name is not a plan
Snow routes change week to week and turn into loose gullies once they melt out. Traverses commit you for hours with no easy way off. Anything Class 4 or harder needs experience, a helmet and usually a rope. Read the full description, check recent conditions, and pick the line that fits the day you actually have.
