Caution! Only continue past Battleship Mountain Scrabble point to the Battleship Mountain Summit if you are comfortable with heights and consider the calculated risk.

It is also advised not to go solo or without scrambling/climbing experience. The way to the summit resembles the famous "Angles Landing" in Zion but WITHOUT installed chains.

Running

The top of Battleship Mountain can be a little dicey and isn't for everyone. There are great views from the top, but you need to be comfortable with class 3 scrambling to be able to climb your way to the actual summit. A lot of people make the climb to the top, but there is also a really popular trail that just circumnavigates the base of this peak.
