"LOTS of climbing. Took the access trail as there were reports of a lot of snow. There was a decent amount of snow above 7k ft. No need for crampons or spikes of any kind. For sure a harder route than I thought. Straight up from the get go. " — conkel13579 • Mar 27, 2024
"Would not due this route again unless driving in someone else's Jeep. Route to summit is unremarkable, but has a nice view of Clark Mountain. Road to start point was quite rough, required high clearance and was very tough for my full size truck due to several narrow spots flanked by boulders.

"Drive to trailhead involves 45 minutes on a decent gravel road that I was doing 20-25mph in my high clearance truck. 2WD would be ok, but you will want some clearance for some bumps and ruts. Trail is pretty straightforward to follow. No summit register. There was just a tiny bit of snow on the side of the mountain and none on the trail." — parker.goes.outside • Mar 10, 2024
"I wouldn't normally log this route; I always thought the road route looked tedious. But then came snow. While breaking trail on the upper road was a bit more enervating, where snow drifts were up to 18", the views were magical. The mountain will likely see up to 6" more snow in the next few days, so it you go soon, pay attention to your footwear-- gaiters, even low-gaiters, will keep snow from filtering into your boots. I wore light insulated and breathable boots." — hwstock • Feb 3, 2024
"Solo but saw a bunch of friendly faces. Last 4 miles were rough when i ran out of everything. Drank a liter right from mummy springs. A nice lady Laura gave me a ride back to my car because she saw me dry heaving haha" — bend • Jul 22, 2023
