    Tips

    Hiking

    North Eolus (14,042 feet) is a close neighbor to Mount Eolus and has a fairly similar summit route. Headed the opposite direction on the ridge, the North Eolus summit pitch is pretty easy class 3 scrambling. With route choice, this feels like one of the easier mountains in the Chicago Basin. Once on top of North Eolus, you have a head-on view of Sunlight and Windom Peaks to the west.
