"Started from Ridge Lake camp on PCT at 6:45 AM and made it to summit at 11:00 AM. Approached scramble from Huckleberry's broad steep east slopes-- the summit is not always visible from approach. The beginning scramble is stout. As written in other site reports, the route is not evident at the beginning because there isn't a good visible line to the summit. After the first hundred feet the scramble eases and becomes a ridge walk scramble for a bit. The ridge scramble is serpentine, not a straight ridge spine. After leaving the ridge, there is a leftwards traverse through a small bowl to the top of a twenty foot downclimb to the saddle below the summit block. We brought out the rope at the summit block. 60M rope and a couple cams protected the route. The summit rappel is a weighted boulder but it was fine. Rapped from the summit block to the saddle and rapped the initial starting portion of the scramble. Back to camp, swam, broke camp, to truck at PCT trailhead at 7:00 PM." — cloudbreach • Aug 14, 2021
