Started at around 9:15 and wish I started earlier because the heat of the day got to me in the afternoon. Was not originally planning on submitting, but the route looked great and got excellent beta from a guy on trail. I cruised up the main path, but I recommend, after turning off the PCT, going farther into the trees, much stronger vegetation so less slippery. Once on the ridge, quite easy to follow the path, and a pretty easy low-class 5 climb but definitely very exposed! This time will most certainly fall, as I was not trying for it. Someone with a high running stoke and scrambling skills has got it! I'd love to come back and give it another go.
