Other Alpine Routes Rock Climbing

The main route up Crystal Crag is the North Arete. Listed in this area are other routes to the summit or high ridge lines. 

The summit aretes are high-quality ridge granite similar to the high ridges around Tuolumne Meadows (but with a shorter easier approach). The West face has less-steep and loose rock with some dirt, but the rock tends to be sounder toward its south side. Now that the lower East face has been developed with sport routes, there is a concern that climbing multi-pitch routes up onto the upper E face or on the E side of the N ridge or E side of summit aretes might send loose rock down on the sport routes.
