One of the most popular climbs in the North Cascades, Eldorado has a challenging approach hike with exceptional scenery. Endurance for getting to the peak is more of a requirement than technical climbing skill. The knife-edged summit ridge is a classic of many photos - see below. The Sibley Creek Pass route starts higher than the Eldorado Creek approach but it is longer and more technical.
