The Easiest Route
The dihedral shown in three of the photos is billed as the easiest way to the summit. It is an obvious and tempting route, but there is an easier way up. Bob Burd documents this route in two 2014 trip reports. It is a class-three scramble to a point above and just right of the right-hand wall of the dihedral. From there, climb the east face of the east summit block. Start towards the right, work your way left, and then go right again. This route may look intimidating from below, but it’s not too steep, and there are many good holds. If it weren’t for the exposure, it might be class 3. It’s an easy class-three scramble over to the slightly higher west block.
