Re: Wham Ridge without a rope
Thanks, I’m glad all this ended up being helpful! Hopefully to many others as well. I think seano had some of the most important info, too… Choose your own adventure to enjoy and if you don’t like what you’re seeing, there always the easier route around the back to get to the top.
If you’re comfortable with lots of exposure and difficult scrambling (i.e. four great traverses, especially Little Bear-Blanca and the Bells), then it’s likely you’ll be good on Wham and will enjoy it. But definitely a very personal choice whether one attempts it and whether one ropes up or not.

That really helps put it in perspective. I absolutely loved the LB-Blanca traverse. I did Dallas Peak recently and really enjoyed that one too. Seems like Wham might have to be on my short list for next season.
