Trail Overview

This route is a split difficulty trail, with the section from the warming hut to the top being a solid level 4 difficulty and the section from the warming hut to the bottom mostly a 3. The upper, more difficult section has a narrow rocky shelf portion with a treacherous fall to the bottom if one isn't paying attention. There are loose rocky transitions with some slight off-camber sections. There are a few dispersed camp spots near the top, primarily big enough for a single rig. The lower section is more accessible and has some decent-sized pullouts. Again, there are a few shelf sections but more room to get around oncoming traffic as it works its way to the bottom. There appears to be no camping along this section. There's a pit toilet near the warming hut and only one bar of cell service at the very top.
