A view of the climber's trail from Raccoon Trail. See the cairn in the bottom right. Trees line the path leading up the hill.

I started tracking on the summit, so this shows the walk off from the summit, back to the car. Overall it's about 2 miles, and ~800 ft (from car to 2nd buttress base) of gain from Panorama Point to the 2nd buttress. This track followed the cairned trail.

The last Raccoon Trail trailhead you see, as well as the right hand turn. When you get here, start looking for the climber's trail.

The climber's approach trail starts between locators 8 and 9 on the Racoon Trail loop. The photo was taken hiking counterclockwise from Panorama Point.
