One of the best September ever in the Rockies, so far. Perfect day, nice scramble, beautifull panorama from the summit and a chalanging desent on north side.

Scramble Route
Demanding and exposed scrambling, but fun all the way up. Perfect conditions at the summit, some of the best views around. Brought replacements for missing register, and missing memorial article.
The gully was longer than expected so the actual scrambling was shorter. Most difficult part for me was the steep section right after the transition from the gully to the ridge, after that it was pretty easy in the chimney. Unfortunately, you don't see the cairns with orange flagging tied to it until you top out of each steep section so route finding is important. Fairly exposed for the majority of the scramble but pretty fun scramble. Never did see any pitons or encountered any slabby crux on our ascent. The view from the summit is fantastic.

South ridgeFun scramble on solid rock. I would downclimb the ridge rather than using the garbage-chute on the north if I did it again. Trip report.
