North American Classic Climbs

Wolf's Head

East Ridge

A relatively easy climb from a technical standpoint, but don't take it lightly; good rock climbers who aren't used to the need for speed have been humbled on this one. All members of the party must be comfortable with radical exposure and with the grade of climbing; a fall by the second would be very serious in most places, since all pitches are traverses.
