Steep 2 km climb to the top with the reward of breathtaking views. We took the serpentine 6 km long route down and think that combination is probably the best for most hikers. Full review by Go-Ma-Tin

As of today, no. The news clarified that it was in fact a bobcat, not a mountain lion....I am not sure of the difference or if that makes it better or worse. The article mentioned that they were hiking an hour away from Humpback Rock. That seemed more feasible in that when I went, the hike up (1 mile) was so crowded, I can't imagine any wildlife "rearing their heads." We took the long way back which was much more secluded. I am not an expert and was surprised to hear the story, so I can't offer much more advice on that. Hiking directly up and back down the same way certainly should be safe (but steep and rocky).
