Got any photos of the summit pinnacle? Would like to see if this looks Class 3, 4 or 5. (If you did, you probably would have posted it though, eh? What would YOU rate the pinnacle as?)
FYI, your link to Fred's info is no longer working.

The summit pinnacle can be anything from Class 3 to Class 5, depending on how you tackle it. I've heard of people booting right on up the NW Face. The West Ridge finish is what Sergio and I did and we found Class 4 and a little bit of Class 5 for one downclimb section off a large block. I would take a 30m rope as a precaution.
Thanks for the defunct link notice. I noticed another dead link on the page (the one going to the erstwhile Paul Bunyans Stump page owned by the guy who went Postal on us after getting caught downvoting; I forget his avatar name).
