Kraft Rock Traverse, NW Ridge to NW Canyon

From the Kraft trailhead, we'll ascend the imposing central gully of the south face, very exposed Class 4, on excellent rock, then turn west on the main ridge crest of Kraft to the western summit. From here we'll follow the dominant NW ridge to the main NW Gully. Return will depend on time and group inclination.

About 3 1/2 miles roundtrip with total elevation gain of 1250'. Expect minimum of 3 1/2 hrs depending on group and exact route taken done at a moderate pace. Aside from initial ascent gully, most of the route is Class 2.

Helmets advised.

No guests, pets, children.

Required: GOOD SCRAMBLING SKILLS; NO FEAR OF HEIGHTS
