Polemonium Ridge forms the south rampart of Gentian Pass and is an obstacle that must be traversed when travelling to Castle Towers or Sphinx Hut during the summer. It is also a fine destination in its own right with excellent views of Castle Towers, Sphinx, and Garibaldi Lake. To reach the summit of Polemonium Ridge requires only non technical hiking; to continue on to Castle Towers requires 2nd-3rd class scrambling.
