The views from the summit is oneof the best in the state as it overlooks hundreds of smaller granite formations in the valley. The climbing involves crack or slab climbing on well-featured Pike's Peak granite. Perhaps the only downside to this formations is the long approach (~5-6 miles one-way). On the plus note, you can expect solitude on these climbs.
