It is a steep, unmarked route. Both the east side and west side routes are suprisingly challenging for such a small mountain. I believe this peak has been climbed every month of the year. I have hiked it 13 straight years and a total of 18 times. The summit register records climbs in most months. It would be a hot climb in the summer.</div> <bR> <div> The peak's route is found at page 146 in the book.
