The Mount Nelson scramble is a class 3 scramble. There are traces of a trail, but it is easy to get off track in the loose scree. It is steep and often holds snow into the summer. Trekking poles are helpful, but have a place to store them in your pack when you arrive at the Class 3 scramble, as you will need to use your hands. If you are uncomfortable with navigation, loose rock, and scrambling, do not attempt to summit Mount Nelson.
