Tried to complete the West Ridge Climb, but didn't get an early enough start, but still bagged the peak. This is a difficult route! There is a climbers trail, but really need to use gpx to know where to go. The hike to the peak is strenuous and not something to be taken lightly. Altitude is also something to consider with this one. Research and know what you're doing before you go. Was also witness to falling rocks from one of the side peaks, safely at a distance.
