Over the last several years the Saber Ridge traverse (5.7-8) became a new High Sierra classic. At this point, it isn't just compared to Matthes Crest due to its quality rock and sustained exposure on the sharp ridge, a lot of climbers claim it to be better. The rock is stellar from the bottom to the top and a lot of the ridge is covered in knobs and chicken heads. The approach starts at Crescent Meadow in Sequoia National Park and takes the High Sierra Trail for just over 11 miles, till it forks up towards the Elizabeth Pass and then takes another turn towards Tamarack Lake.

My name is Przemysław Szapar, I am a runner and an explorer from Poland.  My goal was not to run on the highway, but to run along the existing trails through the center of Iceland.  My goals are to traverse the Iceland E-W, and to connect the two farthest points in Iceland, Cape Gerpir and Cape Bjertanger.  The exact route is open to the adventurer, but you must stay off the main highways.  You may do the route in either direction.
