This out-and-back trail begins with steps made of railroad ties ending at the first saddle. The trail then sharply turns right to the south. There is another small series of steps. This leads up to the most difficult section, two steep slopes, which have handrails and chains. Then there is a short scramble up a steep gulley followed by a moderate incline with loose gravel. Finally there is a long ascent through boulder-lined gullies till the summit.
