Hot dayGreat day for scrambling. The peak looked tough from Knapsack Pass, but it was really quite simple. Great views of Rainier.

Nice late summer hikeWent with JordanH and CascadeCohen on a leisurely hike and scramble. All the info that is given on this hike is true. The summit is only Class 2 and barely that. But you would never know it was by the views of the striking summit. Great hike.

Fun and EasyLooks forbidding from Knapsack Pass, but is quite easy on the backside.
