Approach Routes
Most climbers approach Crystal Peak from the east, in particular via the Crystal Lakes basin. This approach, a pleasant hike, follows jeep trails until treeline and Lower Crystal Lake. Four wheel drive vehicles can generally make it this far. A trail on the north side of the lake takes climbers to Upper Crystal Lake, where gentle scree slopes provide access to the ridges north of the summit.
gollark: Also, Arch has a great list of packages *and* the AUR.
gollark: Oh no, typing.
gollark: The install is not that hard:- set correct keyboard layout- connect to WiFi- synchronize date/time- partition disks- format partitions- mount filesystems to /mnt or whatever- pick mirrors (kind of optional)- install packages (`base`, `linux`, probably `nano`, `dhcpcd` or whatever)- generate `/etc/fstab`- chroot into `/mnt`- set time zone- set locale- set hostname, add entries to `/etc/hosts`- set root password- install bootloader
gollark: Your awful OS, yes.
gollark: All of them do as far as I know, even just to set passwords and stuff.
