Classic Cascade Climbs brings together more than 100 standout climbing routes across over 70 peaks in Washington's Cascade Range. The selection ranges from classic alpine objectives and traditional rock routes to sport climbs, ice routes, and crags, giving climbers a broad look at some of the range's most worthwhile objectives.

Each route was selected for a combination of quality, popularity, accessibility, climbing style, and historical significance. Detailed climbing beta covers approaches, routes and descents, grades, pitch-by-pitch information, estimated times, recommended equipment, permits, and other considerations. Photo-based route overlays and topographic maps help make the guide useful for both planning at home and preparing for days in the mountains.

Written by Tom Sjolseth, Jim Nelson, and David Whitelaw, the book also includes climbing history and mountain photography that make it useful beyond its role as a route guide.
