This section of trail switchbacks up loose cliff sides dotted with ancient Bristlecone Pines before reaching a prominent outcropping known as the "Devil's Thumb." Past the Devil's Thumb, the trail contours around exposed, steep slopes on the east face of Mount Charleston before reaching a series of final short, but steep, switchbacks to the summit. This entire section of trail features loose scree, steep drop offs, and some fairly significant exposures. The trail is well marked, however, and with hard work and careful footing, you are rewarded with challenging, exciting hiking in a beautiful, remote-feeling position.
