The West Ridge of Forbidden Peak is one of the 50 classic climbs of North America. The route lives up to its reputation and is comprised of steep snow a small glacier and a long ridgeline which is graded 5.6. This is hands down one of the best routes in Washington and should be on every alpine climbers tick list. Along with the climb the views from Boston Basin are some of the best in the North Cascades. Day 1 is comprised of a skills day at a local crag followed by 2 nights and 3 days in the mountains.
