Monarch Divide (Ski Traverse)

The Monarch Divide is widely regarded as one of the most serious and committing ski traverses in the Sierra Nevada. Following the granite crest that separates the Middle Fork and South Fork of the Kings River, the route forms a true trans-Sierra crossing through some of the most remote and complex high-alpine terrain in the range.
