The switchbacks on the southwest ridge of Mount Columbia are steep, rocky, and sandy. Going up usually isn't an issue besides being steep and tiring, but his can be a quad busting decent. Trekking poles can be helpful on these unrelenting steeps. On a positive side, the switchbacks near the bottom of the mountain are not nearly as steep, and there are wide open views of Bear Lake and Mount Harvard nearly the entire climb.
