Often cited for its loose rock, we found the summit pinnacle to actually be quite stable class 3 when we had Josh scout for a route that traverses back over the east side from the notch on its North end. The ice on the terrible-traverse section from Red Saddle added a nice alpine feel to the peak.

Great reportYou are making this sound too easy;). You give a very clear description of the approach and how to tackle the summit block, very helpful.
