2nd chute and another approachThere are two Class 3 chutes/routes on the highest finger. The chute that is E of the spiny ridge mentioned above is best in my opinion. Steeper and more solid. Plus you can avoid the footsteps some moron chiseled into the rock on the other class 3 route.
You can also come up the dirt road and wrap around to the N side of the fingers. I think this is preferred to walking up the south slopes and heading towards the saddle
