Route notes
The climb asks for patience.
The trail rises quickly and keeps a purposeful rhythm. The reward is not just the summit, but the feeling of crossing into a harsher, more open landscape.
What stays with you
The sheer slope, the open rock, and the way the ridge opens into a huge, wind-swept view.
