This peak is dangerous. Prior to attempting it you should be comfortable climbing peaks like the Maroon Bells and Pyramid. The biggest danger is large, air-filled setups of interlaced, loose blocks. You must be very adept at testing holds, and have a well-developed skill for tiptoeing across exposed, Elk Range traps. Please, no bad grabs.
