"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Sketchy RockOn a vacation with some family I took a day alone and did this peak. What a great day and a wonderful peak. I traversed across the scree for a while then went up a chimney and cliffs. The rock is absolutely rotten! It just crumbles in your hands. I would recommend a helmet especially if you are climbing with others. With a moderate pack on it was sketchy in a few places. I went further down the saddle on the decent and found an easier place to get down.

Cliffs ScrambleThe hike to the pass is nice and mellow. The cliffs to the summit, are complete crap. Loose and sketchy. I did see a few bighorns on the way up though.
