This page seems light, but it has complete information. Perhaps walk-up would not be the best way to describe a "scramble" without a trail. This mountain seems to be at least a class 2 boulder hop, not a straight walk like on the Appalachian Trail.
Thanks for the vote. Rating this one's difficulty has proven to be tough, my oregon scrambles guidebook calls it class3, while Moni says her guidebook calls it class 1. I found from my own experience that it is maybe class 2, since it is trailless, and somewhat steep, but it can be done without use of hands, and has minimal exposure. Class 3 sounds a bit much to me though, as is the case with many of the ratings on other entries in the Oregon scrambles book listed in the "books" section.
Thanks for the vote, and yes there is a husband, as well as a little brother, and 3 sisters. There is even a bachelor across the road looking at the 3 sisters.

Untitled CommentHey thanks for adding this one. Hopefully, the whole Oregon "family" of peaks will be complete soon.

Untitled CommentThanks for the vote, I was considering an attempt at the husband also, but it is a little above my current ability.
