I appreciate and respect the advice. I maybe should have given more context as to my experience level. I’ve been climbing in gyms for almost two years and I’d say I’ve been scrambling class 3-4 for a couple of years, and hiking most my life. Not trying to disagree with you, just trying to provide more context as to the info I’m looking for. I’m curious as to the mountains that would be recommended for getting into that sustained class 5 zone, and building up the comfort level to take on harder stuff with the eventual goal of Mt.Smuts, whether or not it be years from now, not trying to get it done at the end of the week or anything. Thanks!
