Description Suggest change

West Face AM Shady/PM Sunny, Most climbed route the West Face 5.3.

Getting There Suggest change

East and West trial on the North side.

Coming in from the West - Hunt creek trailhead, at the first fire ring look for a trail that descends the grassy section just left of the scree field.   Steep but with cut in steps.  Safest and easiest way down.  Limited Camping spots  and natural springs for water in valley.
