Follow the West Fork of Rock Creek Trail past Quinennbaugh Meadows and Sundance Lake until you cross the pack bridge above treeline right under Sundance pass. From there, follow the south shore of the lake/creek to itslarge braided inlet, from where you start on the snow/boulder fields (snow until mid july) up to the base of the coulair.
Many people camp in the meadows at the foot of the peak, the hardcore do it all in a single day.

Route Description

Climb the coulair, usually keeping to the right as far away from the trench down the middle which runs with falling rocks and ice. It gets narrower, steeper, and the ice gets harder towards the top. In the last quarter, the trench disappears and you just go straight up from there, the steepest part. From the top of the coulair, it is a short easy scramble to the summit

Essential Gear

Ice axe, crampons, and rope are all essential. A helmet would also be a good idea. Rock protection can be placed in the sides of the coulair, as well as snow (deadman) and ice gear in the snow itself. Be prepared for any and all weather.
