Need to Know

Be careful. There are many big cliffs on this route. Not for people without experience or who are afraid of heights at all.

Description

You'll start in a rock field, then head on the left side of the big mountain to you west. You'll pass a few man made structures on the way up. Then get up on the ridge and stay on it until you reach Mt. Superior.
