Route Description


Trailhead Elevation: 11940 ft
One Way Distance per my GPS: 0.80 miles, all slippery scree, allow 2 hours uphill

The south shore is covered with loose scree that makes the hike very slow and unpleasant. Hike parallel to the surface of the lake 100-200 ft above it. Don't gain too much elevation or you will run into cliffs. Once you near the saddle, the slopes ease up a little and the rocks become larger making it less slippery. Look to the top to locate a scree slope that cuts through the cliffs on the summit. Follow this slope to the summit. Expect nasty scree again all the way to the top.

Essential Gear


Hiking boots.
