The road getting to the trailhead requires a vehicle with good clearance. My Tacoma did okay just driving slow. I really underestimated this peak. This climb is nothing to joke with. Plenty of flying rocks. This is because about any route along the ridge line will get you to the summit. I took the gulley as I was following another group. The gulley has the hard subsurface deal going with loose surface material making it very unstable. On my return trip was the rock dodging game because other crews were catching up. Wear a helmet. Great views as all 14ers have. Photos (click for slideshow):
