This is the best way to get to Mt. Hayden. At the bottom of the cement stairs hop over the left metal railing. Follow faint trail down along ridge. Stay along the ridge after trail fades. Look for a rock caren and natural rock stair case leading down and left into the gully. Once in the bottom wallow to the fixed line. The hard part is over. <br> 6-4-09 <br> Kevin in Fredonia

John Boyd shot this photo of us on the summit of Mount Hayden

This is us on Mt Hayden, as seen from Point Imperial through a 240mm lens.

Jorge and Joanne Urioste on the summit, looking down-canyon.

Charlie was nice enough to take this photo of us on summit from a point along the Ken Patrick Trail between Point Imperial and the road to Cape Royal. This offers an interesting perspecive on Mount Hayden.

Joanne Urioste with Mt. Hayden, from Pt. Imperial.

Approaching Hayden along the Hermit Shale.

We rapped down near the Pegasus route. It seems to be a better option than the low angled, brushy south face alternative. Pic. Pseudalpine.

Bill Hotz peering down Pegasus, with Maurice Horn, Pt. Imperial in the background.

Second rappel, you can see the slings of the last rappel on top of the pilar.

This third pitch variation of the South Face Route provides the best climbing on that side of Hayden. Older topo rates the OW crack at 5.8+ and chimney finish at 5.9.
