From the intersection of I-210 and Angeles Crest Highway, drive north on Angeles Crest Highway for about 51 miles to a large parking area on the right side of the road at Vincent Gap. Park here.

From the parking lot (6593'), go through the gate and east up the road toward the Big Horn Mine.
After 1.6 miles (before reaching the fence marking the mine property), ascend the east ridge on a use trail.
Climb a steep ridge for 1.4 miles with 2400' of gain to meet the main ridge and the PCT 200' below the summit. Follow the top of the ridge wherever possible in order to avoid steep loose dirt on the exposed north side.
Return via the PCT back to the parking lot. Descending by the ridge is not advised.
