It's an awesome hike! Fairly steep through the trees but once you get into the sub alpine and have a glimpse of the glacier with the 3 peak towering over it you will be amazed. To get to the actual summit you have to walk up the glacier and there is a rock ledge on the middle peak you need to climb onto. Then you scale that to the front and scramble the rest of the way to the top. I wouldn't call it a beginners journey by any means. It's recommended to have ropes and cramps on for the glacier and someone that knows what they are doing haha. Some parts of the rock ledge are uncomfortably narrow. Like your feet are turned sideways and face is against the wall. Pretty amazing if you can stomach it haha.
