This trail is no joke.  Sign at the bottom says not for kids under 10 because of the multiple steep sections that requires the use of cables to pull yourself up.  Good shoes that grip the rock are required.  I saw more than one noob with flat sole shoes meant for the mall having real problems getting thru cable sections on bare rock.   Up to the saddle is a good day hike for the more casual hiker and kids.  Immediately after is the first cable section which wore me out on the return trip.  The total trip took us just shy of four hours.  Camelback was a pleasurable hike compared to this one.
