Has anybody been up the North Face of Mt. LeConte and know the rating? Secor has it at 5.7. Can anybody confirm?


When in doubt, go up.

Not sure of the north face, but walk around to the east and you should find a route that's about 3 going up, a 4 coming down (strange, but we thought it deserved a dual rating). Take a rope, a biner, and a big sling for the downclimb and you should be OK. The 'summit block' height isn't that high from the plateau LeConte shares with Mallory.

(This is info from mid-1990s, but I wouldn't think the geology up there has changed that much in 15 years. wink )
