Description Suggest change

Wilderness highpoint. One of 15 Sierra Emblem Peaks. 

Once you leave the pct, it is a class 2-3 route up the west face. Or easy snow and class 3 scrambling when I did it on 5-27-2023. See beta photos.

A ten mile approach from Olancha Pass trailhead. Leave the PCT when the peak comes into view.
