    Tips

    Hiking

    Mount Eolus (14,087 feet) is a class 3 14er in the Chicago Basin group. The scramble to the summit is straightforward, but there is some real exposure on the traverse.

    The "Catwalk" is the name for the most narrow section on this ridge. Mostly all of the traverse is long stretches of class 2 (including this tight section). There are a handful of class 3 sections as you approach the very top.
