First time I made summit ridge in '02 we got above the clouds and it was bluebird above. Super amazing! I've been up the standard route from Powerline Pass a few times. It makes a great quick evening (or morning) climb if you bike or take it as a trail run. I think that it's a great trail run!
Also, there's some cool looking routes from Ship Lake on the steeper side, and I bet the NE ridge would be quite the scramble, but those are harder areas to get to.

From Grey Lake
Biked to Grey Lake. The summit took about an hour and a half from there by the route on the main page.
Photos on the main page were taken 8/30/09 (summit view), 9/18/10 (view of west face, taken from Ptarmigan Peak), and 1/9/11 (winter shots).

From Powerline Pass
I climbed the southwest ridge from Powerline Pass solo on August 13, 1988. On the descent I glissaded through a band of sheep. Pretty neat trip.

Amazing viewsAmazing views! Great for an after-work bike-hike, as long as you remember where you left your bike ;-)
