The hike up Leatherman Peak from the west requires a difficult class 4 scree scramble up the ridge to the peak. The is hike is much more challenging than the hike to Leatherman Peak from the north, but you can make it easier by taking the more standard trail (used for the descent of this route, to the north of Leatherman Peak) both up and down.
