Boxed Text

This box of text will display full-width on a screen and requires no special "playing with the line-feed carriage-returns" - < br >

This route has much to offer including astounding views from high on the ridge and the summit area plus Class 2+ and Class 3 climbing along a section of ridge-crest. Unfortunately there is also some serious bushwhacking through dense forest and underbrush during the lower sections of the route.



---------------------------

The following box of text which is displayed beside a picture in a table DOES require the insertion of the "BR" code to display properly. AND to make it work properly, you have do decide for which screen size you're going to optimize. It's probably better (certainly easier) to just use the full-width box of text.


Ward Mountain from the ridge to Camas Peak
The standard East Face Route to the summit of Ward Mountain is a tough one, gaining almost 5,000’ in 6.2 miles. On hot sunny days the climb can be excruciating as the sun beats down unrelentingly on that southeast facing route.

This alternate route to the summit is along the west ridge-
crest from the Camas Cirque and particularly good if you
prefer scrambling to just hiking over a well-defined trail.
Another reason this may be your preferred path to the
summit - beginning at a higher elevation, it only gains
3,791’ in 5.9 miles as opposed to the standard route which
gains 4,985’ in 6.2 miles.
