West face and North Ridgeas described by Secor. Good exposure on the east side of the north ridge. Didn't know the east ridge itself was a route, otherwise I probably would have tried that. I attempted some chutes on the south face of the east ridge, but they were too intense for me at the base.

Great outingFun short day for when I wasn't feeling Dade!!! Awesome scramble and striking view of peak on the way up NW ridge and scramble up west face. Cliffy walls and some good many route options around obstacles.
I should have read the beta and sean's comments, otherwise I would have pushed through and down the east ridge. Should have climbed up via east ridge-easier going up than down ;) After considerable time spent analyzing and careful climbing down east ridge, I chickened out at the gap because of exposure and backtracked to bail off west face and down to treasure lake, back to trailhead. Solo ascent.

Via NW RidgeA bit more loose than I expected but fun and scrambly. Weather threatened for a moment but eventually produced a perfect day for a climb on a second date. Great results on both ends.

Re: Via NW RidgeYou shoulda read the page... :-). The east ridge woulda been a better climb, and a better test.

East ridgeFun short day for when I wasn't feeling Mills. The ridge doesn't look like it should go, but it does.
