Worth the hike
I have to say in my opinion the 20-45 minute hike from playground parking area was completely worth it. Not only plenty of routes but crash area at base is very much clear of debris and vegetation. Plenty of shade rock stays cool. Top out and you lose the shade, wideopen. 2 bolts topside, I used them as a backup for my backup.

Not worth the hike
This is an okay route. I trail run around Monte Sano and decided to run in solo it and run out. Enjoyed it more than usual this time

Ascent Note
This is a fun route. With lots of different paths up you can mix and match quite a bit. The hardest part is the small ledge about 3/4 of the way up.
