The 2800 ft of suck, aptly named, features many annoying spots such as this one. It's not especially easy going on the Maroon Peak Trail.

The turnoff toward South Maroon can be easy to miss. Turn right at this cairn to continue on the West Maroon Trail.

A look at some of the typical terrain. Find this class 3 chimney before skirting to the left to avoid getting cliffed out.
A view of the remaining route from the start of the scrambling.
After rounding the ridge, continue on loose trail before reaching the rocky, scrambly area.
Nearing the ridge, goats wait to kick rocks down at unsuspecting hikers.
