Bring two maps at different scales

Consider bringing maps of two different scales for your climb. Use the larger scale map for the main route and one at a smaller scale for the approach, or the “whoops, we got off route and are now in new terrain.” A large scale 7.5 minute, or 1:24,000 scale map works well for the actual route. A small scale map, such as the excellent Green Trails series (15 minute, or 1:69,500 scale) works well for longer approaches and getting a sense of the bigger terrain picture.
