When you leave the vehicles, you will want to follow wash branches angling to the left. If you reach a large dry waterfall, you are too far to the right. Turn right at the rock arrow in the main wash into a small wash. After a couple hundred feet, turn left up a gully to the surrounding terrain. You should find a good climbers trail that will take you all the way to the pinnacle notch.
As Dundeel said it appears that most people are not going to the saddle west of the peak and are going up to the northerly side of the peak to where the detached pinnacle is. Once you leave the wash at the arrow, you will pick up a climbers trail that will take you to the detached pinnacle. Once at the detached pinnacle you go up near up the NE face to the top. Just find the chute with the great holds near the small saddle between the pinnacle and the NE face and go up - lots of options from there - it's all pretty easy terrain with just a touch of easy Class 3 after on the last part.
