An easy snow and rock climb with spectacular scenery.  Helmets, boots, crampons and an ice axe are all the gear that is needed.

South Ridge

Northeast Ridge

This route is a quintessential Cascades ridge climb, featuring easy climbing, brilliant position and pulse-quickening exposure.  Rock quality is "not good" at the bottom of the route, and improves noticeably to "mediocre" as you ascend.

The route is mostly fourth-class with some low-fifth steps.  Good simulclimbing terrain.

Routefinding is generally easier than it appears.  Climb the ridge, tending toward the left side more than the right.
