The shoulder \u2014 the lower part up to the ledge below the summit \u2014 is a free hike: demanding and steep, but within reach of a strong walker.<\/p><p>The head, the famous rounded boulder, is another matter. It is climbed on metal rungs bolted into the basalt, with ropes and a harness. That is no longer hiking but equipped climbing, and it is done only with a guide who supplies the gear.<\/p><p>Guided outings run in very small groups, often two people maximum, for around 100 dollars per person.
