Mount Hayden, while a rather large climb, still provides mostly moderate angles. Drive Castle Creek road for 8 miles from the roundabout to reach a large pull-off on the right. There is no sign for the trailhead, but as you pull in you should be able to see the large face that will be your destination. Cross the creek and follow a not-so-obvious trail up the drainage. A map will be useful here. The trick is to not stray too far to the right. As you break above treeline, the Stamberger face will be up to your left. Stay right and gain the long snowfield to the summit above. To keep things moderate, roughly retrace your skin track on the way down. If you feel good about the conditions, the Stamberger face will certainly add some spice to your day, with 45-plus degree skiing and moderate exposure.
