Climbed July 1971: Entering from Paddy-Go-Easy Pass, we climbed to the base of the buttress heading down the West Face from the South Summit. You can see it in the picture heading down and to the left of the summit. It was pretty loose rock climbing along the ridge on the top of the buttress. It was mostly exposed class 3 but there were a few moves of class 5. I don't particularly recommend it. However, it was a fun but a kind of a silly way to make an easy climb harder.
Long day hike from Scatter Creek Trail. The south peak was fun enough. Lovely day at an infrequently visited location. Summit register (from 1984) indicates around 2 ascents/year.

East Ledge (Standard Route)
The East Ledge is the only non technical way up the North Peak (true summit). It looks sketchy, but it will go. Arguably class 4, but definitely at least class 3+. Expect hand holds to bust.
The south peak was easy peezy. Class 2?
