The mountain was named for a grotto-like cave within it.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name=peakfinder/>

There are two main scrambling routes:<ref name=Kane1999/>

• Northwest Variation - from the ACC clubhouse, ascends the northwest side of the mountain on a good hiking trail. At tree line, the trail narrows to the false summit. From there, it is a gradual ascent to the summit with brief stints of scrambling but mostly hiking.
• Direct route. Ascends directly under the summit. Shorter but more arduous.
