The peak can be hard if you make it hard, If you can find "the" rout (don't know what they call the meandering pass through the rocks) it is farrly easy though... its not obvious, but defanitly findable... when you come in from Diamond lake, the trail crosses the PCT go up there, or traverce around to the north ridge, either way the ridges merge at the base of the sumit... pick a line and go... ha ha, just pickin your own line is half the fun on this little gem.... I'd love to climb this one with ya, but i'm gonna be out of the country the next two weeks... maybe later in the summer though...
