Finally came back in conquered this along with Black Mountain. If you stop at Cane Spring there is a definite use trail all the way to the peak. However, near the ridge as it gets ready to dip to the saddle between the ridge and Split it gets incredibly overgrown. It also gets really easy to lose the ducked trail. If you descend to the saddle and lose the trail you will PAY. It is for sure a class 4 bushwhack if you make a mistake so take your time. There is indeed a use trail on that ridge to the saddle and back, its just hard to see.

That being said its still pretty bushwhacky even if you stay on the HPS trail. Shorts are an absolute no. Your legs would get destroyed.

The views are pretty decent but really the only reward on this peak is ending at KRBC.
