Fun hike to the summit of this lonely peak. Good trail up to treeline, then off-trail either directly up the Class 3+ east ridge or cross the talus field below the peak and then ascend the Class 2 north ridge (I did the latter).

Drive from Norwood via 44Z > M44 > 611 > 612 to the trailhead located at 37.9065 -108.2415. Roads are good until 612, which gets rougher the higher you go. I parked well down the mountain and walked most of 612. Good camping in the area, which is also popular with hunters.
