The text describes approaching via Solomons Pass, but the easiest approach is via Black Giant Pass, between Solomons and Black Giant. Less elevation gain, and sets you up for the NE Ridge.
At the base of the false summit traverse left or South.Go around a corner to a short easy 6 ft. downclimb. You then walk up a 6-8 ft. wide ledge to an easy 10 ft. wall climb that has plenty of holds and little exposure. You will come out just South of the hard cl. 3 downclimb of the false summit. From that point it's an easy climb to the summit
