From here it indicates 0.8 miles to Humboldt peak ascending along the more gradual ridge. The PCT passes more closely under the peak about half a mile further west, but there the climb is steep. Not to confuse Humboldt Peak with the Humboldt Summit, which is about 300 feet lower, another mile further west on the other side of Humboldt Forest Road.
