Amazing. Views and trail cannot be beat. Be prepared with your mountaineering gear during all seasons except the mid/late-summer though. We reached the ridge trail via the snow-filled chute next to the switchbacks (saves time and energy) due to ice on the hiking trail in May, so ice axes and crampons were necessary. I recommend overnight camping at the Portal before starting the trek to adjust to the altitude.
