We bushwhacked for a while and aimed for some mellow cliff bands to gain the south slope. There were no distinct trails, so we just aimed for solid rock or supportive talus. It was a grind, and probably felt harder after doing Chester. The final 50m was fun scrambling with great views. The summit doesn’t have a register. In my opinion, it is deserving.
