It was a super long hike on a hot day. First mile was ok. Second mile was more steep with some rock scrambling. It was 2,500 ft elevation gain by mile 3, and 4,000 ft elevation gain by mile 6. There were a  lot of rock scrambling near the end to summit. Overall, the hike was not difficult, just very long hike. There were some shades but mostly exposed. There were some patches of snow/ice but no microspikes needed. There was a stream of water, which was really cool. The signs on the trail were all wrong, especially the 0.3 mile sign at the very end, which actually took us another mile to summit.
