Description

The Russians is a miniature Trinity Alps, and being a miniature version that comes with shorter walls, shorter approaches and less of a climbing history but that doesn’t make the granite any less quality. The history is very fragmented so hopefully it’ll fill in as time goes.

Getting There

The Russians are situated between the North and South Fork of the Cal-Salmon. With multiple different trailhead accesses out of Sawyers Bar, Etna and Callahan. See individual sub-areas for descriptions.
