Ascent Trip Report

The terrain made this hike considerably more challenging than the mileage and elevation gain would suggest. While the road does go most of the way (distance-wise), it is often over loose rocks, and then once you leave the road, there is about 1000' of very steep and loose ground.

Once you hit the ridge (about 2,200m) it levels out, but you still need to pick a route dodging boulders and brush until you hit the final climb. Once just below the final climb, there are probably multiple routes, but all involve some exposed class 4 climbing (at the very top if not before).
