Approach
Drive in via the western approach. There really isn't an established trailhead. Drive up as far as you can and start heading up to the west ridge. We saw indications of a use trail but abandoned it.
Route Description
Climb up the steep slope to the crest of the west ridge and follow it uptowards the summit hitting the treeline at about 10,000 ft. Continue following the west ridge to the summit tower. Along the way you will encounter a rock tower which you will have to climb up or around, on your way to the main summit tower. Once at the base of the summit tower, you have about 900 ft of class 3 climbing. Move up and to the right climbing the middle rib of the west face to the summit.
