High point stat is inaccurate as the peak is at 14,042'.

Description

Work your way north over scree and gravel toward Mount Langley. As the path gets steeper, head left around the cliffs below the summit plateau. When you get to Langley's steep north face, turn east and finish the scramble to the summit. The trail here isn't maintained, and much of your hike will involve navigating over tough terrain. Keep an eye out for the markers that the National Park Service put in place to help prevent erosion.
