I began from the Hunter trailhead at 0816, arriving to the saddle around 0840 for a short, steep decent around to the southern side of the peak and then a steep scramble to the summit. The scramble had plenty of steel cables to grab onto if people didn't feel comfortable finding holds in the rock and there was netting in some of the steep parts. I made it to the summit around 0905 with a nice breeze and view of the valley below, which included I-10. I then went over to the other northern summit and took a breather there, where no one ventured over. Certainly a doable hike for a beginner hiker or climber (if they don't try to set up their own route), but I saw a lot of those novices struggle. They took about twice as long to summit and descend. I finished by 1022 when the temperatures were getting pretty high. It was almost 100 degrees when I reached my car.

I finished the 4.3 miles of hiking (including northern summit) in 2 hours and 6 mins, which included 15 mins of rest (8 at one summit 7 at other) and speaking to a couple climbing up for 10 mins. If quick and experienced, this hike can be done in under 2 hours easily. I only drank 1 liter of water on the trail, but I brought 3 and drank most of the water when I returned to my car.
