The Harvard and Columbia Traverse is one of the famous American 14er link-ups linking the peaks Mount Harvard (14,421 feet) and Mount Columbia (14,079 feet). The ridge is mostly class 2 and class 3 maneuvering and is more or less completely off-trail. This should only be attempted if you have backcountry travel and good route finding skills.
