How hard is it to reach the three peaks

Is it just scrambling to reach the three summits? What's the total distance and elevation gain?

Re: How hard is it to reach the three peaks

Hey man. So it's a little tough, but you can do it. Yes, scrambling is as hard as it gets really, though at the very beginning of my route I went on and around a rock face that may be considered a level above "scrambling." Just take your time and take it slow up the route. Preferably start early and check mountain-forecast for Verdi, Mt Gilbert, and Ruby Dome. I believe the starting elevation is near 8000 ft. The peaks are up a tad higher than 11000. Still, just take it easy going up and you'll get it.
