There are several two or three pitch alpine ice climbs on this mountain that rises about 3,500 feet above the Parks Highway on the east side. None of the west facing routes reach the summit, but the south face has some enjoyable and usually stable snow gullies that reach the summit ridge. The summit itself is an exposed boulder that few have actually stood on. The ice is usually best in the early season, October through January seem to be the best months. It is hard to find good protection, rock gear (to include pins) is highly recommended. Most of the descents are by walking or downclimbing some of the neighboring gullies.
