Snow conditions dictate winter scrambles. They can change very quickly.
Road access, avalanche hazard, strenuousness, and summit success can vary a tremendous amount.
So these ratings are only a rough comparison of the peaks.
Winter scrambling is a dangerous activity. Be a smart scrambler -- be willing to turn back if conditions are unsafe.
Even a slight deviation from the surveyed routes may affect exposure and avalanche hazard considerably.
The fact that a peak is listed here does not represent that it will be safe.
