The climb is very straightforward for a north cascade area peak. The trail is well cut all the way to Silver Lake. The biggest navigation challenge is finding the trail along the ridge. Once you have found the tail getting to the summit block is easy.

While I was able to free climb the last scramble section, it does have a considerable amount of exposure. Some parties may want a rope. Either way, bring a rope for the descent. Downclimbing this peak looks like a dangerous endeavor. The rappel was easy and a 30m rope took care of the 4th class section.

I did remove the strand of rope that was left for the rappel. It was frayed and damaged in multiple areas. It was also brittle. There is a great spot to attach a nylon runner and I left the rappel rings since they were fine along with one of my runners attached to several others.
