Description

Hike and scramble up a mix of scree and loose rock roughly along/below the ridge until beneath the obvious chute just east of the western-most prominence. Stay on the most traveled line as that has the least choss, step carefully. Ascend up the chute on increasingly steep and exposed, but better cleaned rock; try not to pull on anything harder than necessary. Top out of the chute and walk up to the summit.

Location

At the end of the Pinnacle Saddle Trail, take the eastern path approximately 1/4 mile to a fork, then head up the ridge via the left option.

Protection

No protection to speak of on the 4th class section, a few options for slinging horns or trees once at the top.
