It's the same 6,100+ feet of elevation gain, but in approx. 4.5 miles rather than 11.2 miles on the MT. So steeper, esp from Iceberg Lake to the summit plateau.

Truly, Steve's videos will give you a very good idea of the nature of the trail, as those videos touch all the highlights from start to finish.

Here's a picture I copied and reposted here from one of the other topics re: the Ebersbacher Ledges (which is a small segment of the Mountaineer's Route earlier in the hike):

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
- Lyndon Johnson, on signing the Wilderness Act into law (1964)
