Mount Stuart Complete North Ridge

With engag­ing climb­ing, and exquis­ite expo­sure, the com­plete North Ridge of Mount Stu­art is per­haps the longest, finest stretch of alpine rock in Wash­ing­ton state. You need to have your best game on for this one! The 3,000-foot/ 900-meter route ascends steadi­ly up immac­u­late cracks, across knife-edge ridges, and over impos­ing gen­darmes to the sum­mit. The broad sum­mit of Mount Stu­art offers panoram­ic views of the North Cas­cades, and option­al bivy spots for those look­ing for a night at alti­tude. The descent takes you down the Cas­ca­di­an Couloir, an alpine clas­sic in its own right, to where the shim­mer­ing blue water of Ingalls Lake waits enticingly. 

This climb is done on a cus­tom basis.
