Highlights

Easy access Quick Simple ascent Quality north face descent

Ascent

There is more than likely a well-established skin track from the parking lot to the peak. Otherwise, the route finding isn't challenging.

Descent

From the peak the face can mostly be seen. If you're uncertain about the line, aim to the left as the ramp goes to the bottom without hinderance.

Access/Permits

No issues.
