When attempting this route from the bottom, be sure of starting this from the very nose (a good marker right now is a pine tree that looks like a snag but isn't). If you do not do so, the shape of the rock will force you onto steeper and steeper slabs on the southeast face. This route would eventually be 5.0-5.1, not what you want when expecting class 3 and didn't even bring a rope.
I suppose I could describe the southeast face as a route, but most people wouldn't be interested in a 5.1RX route.
