Mt. Stuart, West Ridge (III, low 5th)

Activity Notes

This is a three day climb of Mt. Stuart's West Ridge, a grade III, low 5th class climb with extensive 4th class scrambling. Climb day has +4800 feet of gain/loss through 5-6 miles of challenging terrain and we'll be carrying heavy alpine rock packs. This route has significant navigational challenges and we will need to move efficiently throughout the day. You'll need to be in great climbing shape.

Day 1- Drive up, hike in, make camp along Ingalls Creek

Day 2- Alpine start, climb route, descend Cascadian Couloir back to camp

Day 3- Break camp, hike out, drive home

Climbers of all genders and backgrounds are welcome and respected on my climbs. I am very committed to this principle.
