The approach is long and the scrambling is nothing to write home about, but
the views make it worthwhile. It was a warm day and we spent nearly an
hour on the summit.

The heat of the return leg took its tole on Dinah, Sonny and Frank who slowed
down and developed headaches. Checking the temperature at the car we learned
it was 30°.
