Description:
This route follows the Southwest Ridge to the top. From the highway, take a game trail due north until you break out of the willow. Scramble to the ridge, then take the ridge up. It's about 1,000 feet of nothing on either side, so don't screw up.Descent Options:
Down the same way, or down the East Face. DO NOT TRY THE SOUTH FACE. The talus is loose and brittle; you will die.
