Scrambles are for people who need to be on a mountain top, but don't want a rope to get there! - An out-of-print guidebook completely redone and brought back by reader demand - 80 challenging but nontechnical ascents in Washington, plus 5 traversesAlpine scrambling is a form of nontechnical mountaineering that falls somewhere between high altitude hiking and rock climbing. Ropes and other aids typically are not needed. The original Washington Scrambles had gone out of print, but is back now due to the large number of reader requests. This new, fully revised second edition features 85 routes, including 25 all-new scrambles not in the first edition, as well as a new chapter covering five high-alpine traverses in the North Cascades. All routes are displayed on maps, many of which indicate alternative routes to the primary way up. Keep stats? Then you'll also appreciate the all-new "Scramble Statistics" table. | Washington Scrambles by Peggy Goldman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
