A beautiful and fun scramble to Mason County's highest point. I'd heard a lot about the exposure on the summit block to Stone, so I was a bit hesitant to do it by myself. I'm glad I ended up doing it, as there are so many handholds and footholds that it's like climbing a ladder. The description in Peggy Goldman's book is pretty accurate so long as you ignore the map (which does not actually depict the "standard route"). I'd suggest traversing the bottom of the first big talus field you reach, to avoid the looser scree up top/closer to St Peter's Gate. Saw a huge rockfall come down from Pershing on my down the Putvin Trail.
