Washington state offers a variety of outstanding wilderness destinations for a
broad range of mountaineering activities, all within close proximity to
civilization. 75 Scrambles in Washington is the first guidebook for Washington
to target the realm of nontechnical mountain ascents, otherwise known as
scrambles.
Involving off-trail travel over snow and rock with a summit as the
destination, scrambling is a challenging and rewarding way to explore
Washington’s backcountry. Expert author Peggy Goldman presents the knowledge
and skills required for safe and efficient travel. Routes vary in level of
difficulty, giving the experienced scrambler or climber, as well as those less
familiar with off-trail travel, a number of worthwhile destinations to choose
from.
