Last time I tried this hike, we got within a mile of the top. One of our party members was afraid of heights, so it took longer than anticipated to ascend.
I’d like to give it another shot this summer!

How I did it: We climbed from the Climber's bivouac south of the mountain. We started from our place at 3, started climbing at about 8, reached the summit at 1:30 and started our descent at 3. Reached parking at 7 and home by 10:30. Read how I did it…
