Three of us did the North Ridge and found it to be quite chossy with loose flakes quite common. Ledges were frequently covered in kitty litter and a lot of the granite was decomposed, flaking off of the surface. The route description in the trip report found here seems to be a bit right of where we climbed for the upper pitches. No idea how one would get 7 pitches out of the route. We did 4 and an easy scramble/walk of about a rope length between 3 and 4 and again to get to the summit. Our pitches were about 120', 170', 80', a walk for about 150', and another pitch of 100'.
