South Face

Start the summit day early - by 6 or 7 AM if you want optimal skiing conditions. From 8000 feet it is a 4-5 hour climb depending on your pace and how well you do in the thinner air that resides above the false summit at Piker's Peak. Head north from your camp up the south face of the peak and examine the snow coverage on your way up as this wide snowfield will be your descent route.
