I have been wanting to hike this peak for a while and I finally made it happen.

I knew that it would be a warm day and that there was a chance of afternoon showers, so I got an early 5:00 AM start (sunrise is at 6:30).

The first couple of miles were fairly mellow, but it got steeper and rockier after that. I took a break after 2.5 miles and took my headlamp off. At that point I had gained about 1,000 feet in elevation, which meant that I would gain 2,900 feet in elevation over the next 2.3 miles. The higher that I went, the steeper it got. The last mile or so to the summit was a mix of the hikes to Humphreys Peak and Flatiron -- lots of class 2 rock and boulder scrambling. I slowed down a lot but I managed to make it up there.

This was a rewarding hike, but it was a tough one.

Solid peak hike. Started from the Summit trailhead just off Hwy 140 rather than drive the dirt road to the closer trailhead. Followed the PCT for a few miles through deep forest at the start, then a steady climb towards the peak with great views above treeline. Good trail, the last thousand vertical feet to the 9495' summit is best done by staying right on the ridgeline.
