A more adventurous alternative to Mt. Townsend. Took the Mt. Townsend Trail up most of the way, then took the Silver Lakes Trail to the saddle, where we followed the Welch Peaks way trail along the ridge crest all the way to the summit, encountering only 2 short sections of Class 3 scrambling. Overall rating 7/10, definitely recommend if you like a good scramble and you've already climbed Mt. Townsend
