In this path, the safety along the path has been installed. The climber secures himself by attaching a rope connected to his body on the karabiner on the track.

This path has thicker snow conditions compared to other stages. If the climber slips, chances are it will be difficult to save yourself by using an ice ax. Climbing is picked up around 1.5 to 2 hours from the last camp. The elevation increase is around 300 meters.

Climbing on this stage can take up to one hour.

At this last stage, climbers will follow the ridge with the right side which is very steep. When the weather is clear, climbers can see the view of Talkeetna City from this path. Climbing is done by using running belay techniques. This is a security system when walking. Each climber is connected with a rope, and each person will connect and release the rope when crossing the security that is already available or mounted on the climbing lane.
