Official route to the summit marker at the peak...not just the base where the Backbone Trail passes by.

Decided to give this a go after recovering from the Ray Miller 50 and gearing up for the full Backbone Trail Traverse later in March.

Perfect weather for me: overcast and upper 50s with a light breeze.

Ran into Keith Kilgore in the parking lot and gave me the extra encouragement I needed.

Unsupported so passed the Danielson faucets on the way up to the summit.

Trail conditions were prime before the major rains came through and the last rock scramble to the summit was still in great shape.
