This is where the hard work begins: The trail up to this point was mostly runnable, except for the occasional washed-out spot or cluster of alders that require you to tip-toe across their roots. But as you work up this steep, rocky and somewhat scrambly ascent to the peak of Lazy Mountain, you'll have no choice but to drop to a walk. This isn't a technical route, but it's not for those who are afraid of heights or scrambling.
