King to Jefferson/Castle

This is another option for accessing the Mount Jefferson Ravines. Climb Airline Trail or Great Gully and hike up and over a col. Roughly follow Gulfside Path, there’s often sheltered pockets of snow that can be traversed on skins or skis to speed things up. The first line you come to is Abbey’s Way. This would be a really efficient way to get into Jefferson Ravine if it wasn’t a heinous bushwhack. If approaching from Adams, you’re better off descending to Edmands Col and skiing in Jefferson Headwall. Castle Ravine is also accessible from here.
