Classic Cascade Climbs features more than 100 climbing routes across 70-plus peaks--from renowned alpine routes to challenging trad climbs, as well as a handful of sport, ice, and crag options.

- Peak and prominence elevations and type of rock

- Detailed photo-based route overlays and topo maps
- Pitch-by-pitch details, estimated time, recommended equipment
- Required permits and other special considerations
