The route description on 14ers.com states the Arapaho Traverse is a class 4 route. However in summer conditions we found it to be more in the neighborhood of class 3. In my opinion this route would be a good introduction to class 3 scrambling... but keep in mind this traverse is an out and back so anything you climb on the way out you will need to downclimb on the way back. It is worthwhile to hit Old Baldy on the way out as it provides some pretty sweet views of both Arapaho peaks.
