Route Description
Hike around the lake to its SW corner. Above, the ledges go easiest at the left edge. Picking your way up above timberline is continous Class 3 with several Class 4 moves and goes via a few different minor variations. A steep boulder field then leads to the Class 3 summit knob.
Essential Gear
Day hiking and scrambling gear. A dawn start is best due to large amount of gain.
