SRRHC Classifies Our Hikes Using the Following Ability Levels:
Easy: ~3-4 km return trip with almost no elevation gain; more a walk than a hike
Beginner: 3-6 km return trip with some gentle elevation under 300 m
Intermediate: from 4-5 km to 14-15 km return trip with moderate (~300-400 m) elevation gain
Advanced: usually over 15 km return trip with higher than 400 m elevation gain; may involve “scary” sections – scree, bouldering, steep climbs etc.
