What an amazing journey of 2000 feet elevation in less than a mile with 2744 steps at a sometimes 68% grade. There are no water stations so bring plenty of it and take breaks in the limited shade while enjoying the Awesome views! There is a switch back trail that connects part of the way up in case you aren't able to make it to the top. The same trail can be hiked from the summit for a much easier trip to the bottom.
