General Conditions
Sargents ridge is fully snow covered, and is still a remote option for a spring ascent. To climb this route the approach is close to four miles from Bunny Flat parking lot just to get to the bottom of the ridge via the still snow covered Everitt Memorial Hwy. A climb of this route will require at least two to three days to complete the whole climb. Elevation and time of day will determine the snow conditions. You will find firm and smooth snow in the morning, then corn snow in the afternoon. Prior winter camping, winter mountaineering, and winter survival skills are mandatory. Carry a map and compass and know how to use them. Check the current avalanche advisory and mountain weather forecast before attempting a climb making sure you have a solid multi-day good weather window. It's our recommendation that most folks wait until next climbing season for this route.
Call if you have questions.
