Approach
Follow the overland route between Rock Creek basin and Crabtree Basin. This backcountry route has no trail. The route leaves from the extreme top of Crabtree Pass
Route Description
From Crabtree Pass climb the obvious chute to the notch between the north and south summits. It's possible to avoid the loose rock by staying on ribs of rock on either side of the chute. Follow the chute to within a few feet of the notch. At this point look for a ledge that leads left around the West Side a bit. This exposed stretch will lead to an obvious route of large broken talus that leads to the summit.
Essential Gear
It's a classic Sierra type route. Good boots, a flashlight, the other basics and a bit of nerve are all you need.
