Caught up with a group from Wandering Soles and reached the summit with three guys from their group (Ryan, Matt and Jeff). The toughest part of this hike is climbing to West Boulder Saddle -- it feels like you're going straight up. From there turn left behind the big boulder and watch for the pole with a brass cap to confirm you're on the right trail. Then it's just a matter of watching for the cairns and staying on the trail. We climbed to the summit from the East then South with no problems. There are cairns directing the way between the two big stands of hoodoos. It takes some mild scrambling to reach the top but the risk was minimal. Be sure to sign the register in the red coffee can. It took about 2:35 to reach the top and about 2:25 to descend (knees were getting a bit tired on the way down). Spent about an hour at the summit eating lunch and enjoying the views. If you're on the Ridgeline, take a few minutes and bag this peak... it's well worth it. |
