Enter before 7am, or explain you're a climber and you won't park at any nice parking lots. Otherwise, a reservation is required to drive up Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway. You pick a 2-hour window for entry, and pay $22 (2026). You can enter anytime during that period, and stay as long as you want. recreation.gov/timed-entry/…
It's free to access any area by hiking instead of driving. That includes hiking from Echo Lake Park to Roadside, Gateway, Area A, Possibility, and everything around there. It also includes Hell's Hole and other areas.

Description
The highlight of this route is the slope-y traverse leftwards. Gear was sparse on the FA which made for a heady lead. Meander left then meander right at the top. A variation through the roof to the left at the top remains an unknown possibility.
Style note: Scott led this ground-up. Came back later and cleaned many small rocks out of the cracks. It protects much better now.
