“The fastest and easiest climb to the Fowler Hilliard hut.”
— Nicholas Shannon
Description
There's nothing remarkable as you easily climb through trees until about 10,400'. Here you make a right hand bend the the grade increases substantially. Climb switchbacks for over 1,000' (the crux!) until you get a ridge and saddle at 11,700'. Do not climb up Resolution Mountain or continue on the road. Look for signs and head east (a right turn off the road). You'll go slightly downhill and the hut will be visible in the distance on top of the ridge.
