Suggested Page Improvements to Sargents Ridge

Approach: When the road is snow free the approach begins at Old Skibowl Trailhead (7,840) at the base of the ridge. Gain the ridge right away.

The winter approach is from Bunny Flats snow park (6,950). This is an extra three miles including two on the road and one going cross country. Gain the ridge when you see a low mellow notch in the ridge.

Continue on the ridge proper, traversing to the climbers left (West) when there are obstacles.

When you reach Shastarama Point (11,150) you've completed the approach. There's a bivy spot here that will fit a 4 person tent.

There is also a semi-protected bivvy on the ridge that will fit a small 2 person tent at (41.38691, -122.19736).
