Choose the right unless you want an adventure.  I started at 6:30am.  The first part of the climb is pretty easy.  Then you get to a spot a little ways past the smooth rock section and there are 3 valleys that look like they go to the top.  TAKE THE RIGHT ONE.  I couldn't decide so I waited for Brent and Michelle, who I had not yet met yet, to climb to my location so I could ask them.  Together we decided to wait for another couple that were not for behind.  Ill refer to the other couple E and RG. E's name is Elliot and had a T shirt that said EXPERT( we later find out that he works for a Brewery and is a beer expert and NOT a TRAIL expert.  That is after we went with his choice of trail which was NOT TO THE RIGHT. RG is for Renaissance Girl.  So we take the middle valley.  The climbing is fun, but the people I was with and the conversation and the getting lost and the adventure was as the commercial says “PRICELESS”.  E finally got us all on the most taken path and we got to the top.  The trail is mostly scrambling over rocks.  That is scrambling vertically over rocks.  The trail about 1/2 way gets steep and at about 3/4 of the way get very very steep and the last rock scramble is vertical.  But after all that fun climbing, and I think it was very fun, The view is just amazing.  Cumming down we stuck to the most traveled path which was still fun.  By far the best hike.
