 The crux of this route is considered to be to climb from Lake Helen, at approximately , to the top of Red Banks.The Red Banks are the most technical portion of the climb, as they are usually full of snow/ice, are very steep, and top out at around before the route heads to Misery Hill.The Casaval Ridge route is a steeper, more technical route on the mountain's southwest ridge best climbed when there's a lot of snow pack.
