A great way to learn your way around the Cascades, this compilation of the "best" routes in the range is perfect for beginning climbers and seasoned alpinists. This revised guide includes 12 new climbs.

• Details more than 75 of the most popular climbs in the Cascades
• Two hundred black and white photographs, half with route overlays
• Thirty maps

In addition to 12 new, fun and challenging routes, this edition contains a mix of walk-ups, snow climbs, scrambles, wilderness alpine routes, hard rock climbs, ice climbs, and strenuous mixed climbs. The idea of a qualitative climbing guide-one that rates climbs by appeal, not by difficulty or type of climbing, was new to the Cascades when Selected Climbs in the Cascades was first published, and climbers loved it.
