I started out not sure if I was going up the right way, since I saw no use trails or foot prints. About halfway up, I could see a use trail cutting through the scree fields. This gave me more confidence, but I still had a lot of climbing to do. Meanwhile, I noticed the shadows creeping forward behind me. I made my best effort to race the shadows up the slope with the goal of reaching the saddle before the sunshine did (little game of motivation to keep me going). Despite the short distance, it was a long slog to the top. It took longer than expected, so I quickly did the boulder climb to reach the summit. Since the slope is at such a steep angle, it was a quick trip back down. I scree skied half way down and made an easy walk of the rest of the way.
