Bob,
you are correct. I'm glad I didn't read Greg's comment in 2012, I was a beginner and his advice would have discouraged me.
It was a bit hard hike for me 2 years ago, but not impossible, just took longer to get to the top.
Now I can jog up to the top in about 1hr. Beginner or Pro, this a must hike to do near Seattle.

Greg sounds a little arrogant. To new hikers this is strenuous. Do your research, decide if it's right for you. Ignore the Gregs of the world and get out there, wherever "there" is for you. Doesn't have to be Everest to be considered a Real Hike.

Easy to find trail up the road a bit. Not bad. Easy peak to start the season with. Others say its hard but that's because they're simple hikers not peak-baggers. Its more a light scramble then a hike to the top.
