im personally glad to see it added since i was in a bad accident there just 3 weeks ago below the sw summit. i pulled off a loose rock while climbing alone which clobbered my arms and hands as i fell some 20' along with it - it was a long walk out of there! when i get out of dual arm casts (and can type again) i'll add a trip report, complete with gory photos. until then, cheers - jeff
OUCH Jeff. I was definitely at my comfort limit and took it very slowly, carefully testing every hand and foot placement along the southwest ridge as I too was alone. I hope you heal quickly and look forward to the report. Thanks for the vote.
Thanks Keema, but I messed up on day 3 and never made it to Pilot Knob. But 9/10 ain't bad either. :-) The worst part is now I have to go hike that peak by myself sometime...

Untitled CommentNice mountain. What is the difficulty rating of the ridge between the two summits? It looks like a fun climb from your photos.

Untitled CommentThanks for the vote and comment. The ridge is class 3 - 4. There is quite a bit of exposure on the north side.

Thank you for the PageYour descriptions and photos lit the fuse for me. I otherwise wouldn't have paid attention to this peak, let alone gone to visit it. Thank you.
