We highly recommend Hibox for a day of scramble fun. As of today the route is snow-free. Here are the specifics (bring your helmet for the summit block):
1) Follow the Rachel Lake trail (#1313) for about 2.5 miles or so until you find a fairly obvious climbers trail that heads off to the right (NE). It is right after the second major clearing in the vicinity of 3,300'. Near the far end of that clearing is a path into the brush on the right. Don't be fooled (we were)!
2) The climbers trail ascends relentlessly and at times quite steeply but is easy to follow all the way to the summit block.
3) At the summit block is an obvious gully (the "first" gully) right in front of you. Ignore it because Class 2-3 scrambling and lots of loose rock leads to Class 3-4 rock walls, and you won't enjoy the return trip down.
4) Instead, swing around to the right and quickly you'll locate another trail. We followed it to the SE ridge where we could see a short Class 3 scramble which would be easy in dry conditions, but today was rainy and chilly and the mossy rocks were slick. Instead we doubled back and climbed another gully, the "second" gully that has been described by other climbers as filled with loose rock and generally unpleasant-looking. We found it to be manageable Class 2-3 scrambling all the way to the summit. The descent using the second gully kept our concentration but wasn't bad.
