Ascent Trip ReportThis is one of those hikes that looks impossible from the trailhead. Surprisingly it involved only class 3 climbing. The hike up is steep and there is enough class 1-2 that I would have appreciated my poles. The one thing that could keep some off the summit is a 100 yard knife-edge ridge one must cross to reach the summit. As long as one does not have huge problems with heights, the climbing stays class 3, so it is quite doable.
