7.54 miles of hiking • 3750' elevation gain •
The last 1/2 mile is snow covered and fairly steep. You may be able to negotiate the summer route but the majority of people were heading straight up the snow field to the summit. I put on crampons but they were not absolutely necessary just made the accent and especially the descent easier. There were 2 pretty good glissade chutes on the way down which were a bit off the main boot track but one could clearly see on the way up to the summit. I think we were pretty much the only party which utilized them though.
