exits to the summit
"then angle back to the left for the easiest exit"
If this is where I think you're talking about, it's a 4th class traverse left to the ridge, which you can then follow to the summit 2nd class. I understand this is the most common option. Other options include going straight up through an 8-10 ft section of 5.8 hand jamming, or going to the right for a not-too-difficult 4th class sequence that gets you to the ridge much closer than the first (left-most) option.
