Hiking Classes
Know and understand the following classes of hikes. Be sure you’re comfortable with the posted class before signing up. Most hikes posted with classes 4 and 5 typically only have small sections that are at that level, but it’s important to know you must be prepared to face those areas. If you’re afraid of heights, you may not want to attempt hikes with class 4 or 5 sections.

Watch this 2 min video that explains the hiking classes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7FXpwgrZKU)

Class 1: Walking with a low chance of injury.

Class 2: Simple scrambling with the occasional use of the hands. Little danger is encountered.

Class 3: Scrambling with increased exposure. A rope can be carried but is usually not required. Falls are not always fatal.

Class 4: Climbing with exposure. A rope may be used. Falls will likely result in severe injury or death. Not for those afraid of heights.

Class 5: Technical free climbing involving harnesses, rope, belaying, and other protective hardware for safety. Falls will likely result in severe injury or death.

What's exposure? This refers to being in a location where there's a lot of open air below you. In other words, if you fall it’s a long way down. Trails typically have minimal exposure unless it's beside a cliff. Scrambling can have minimal exposure or a lot of exposure depending on the specific spot.
