"Fun class 3 scrambling, with occasional 4th class here and there. Some route finding required for the direct descent. Would like to approach Turtlehead Mtn from the SE going through that area soon. I haven't seen anyone post a route from that side of the mountain." — MikeERodriguez • Mar 13, 2025

"What a fun ascent! There's a good number of cairns near the summit that help locate the best path. If you venture off a bit, be prepared for some scrambles. Definitely recommend during the colder months." — alpine-jer • Mar 13, 2025

"It was a nice sunny day with a light breezy. The trail was muddy in areas with some puddles. It was a long hike to the summit as I had to climb 6 other hills for 1.7 miles to get to the main hill. Hike up the main hill got very steep near the summit." — timothywittrock1 • Mar 12, 2025

"Overnight guided climb to the roof of Central America with the hiking fam. We had great weather and the high camp area to ourselves. After setting up our tents, we took a quick jaunt up to Cerro Concepcion. Summit day provided a lovely sunrise, and we took a lap around the crater rim on the descent. " — wacbravo • Mar 11, 2025
