There is little to no chance of getting lost once the use trail fades out into a scree-slog (okay, I am sure SOMEone could work it out) The peak will be painfully obvious to you as it moves further and further away, the closer you think you are. If you are like I was the first time, you could try all of the routes approx 1/3 the way, change your mind and try another one, until your hiking buddy pokes his head over the ridge and tells you to knock it off and get moving...


The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
