This is a very steep, end-to-end off trail hike/climb.
I used crampons and ice-axe for the last section. Some people were on micro-spikes. Snow is solid enough to provide foothold, and ice-axe can punch down. Ice-axe is a must.
We met two groups. One did the same route as we did. Another one went from somewhere else. Not sure where.
Because there is no trail, and the steep climb in the forest is not a good idea, unless it's covered by snow, I'm only publishing the photos, not the parking or route.
