There is a recognizable trail now that goes up the NNE-SSW nose directly from the parking spot toward the peak - no need to do bushwhacking up the gulch, etc. Just go thru (around) the gate and continue on the road for about 100 yards and that becomes the trail.

Class 3 at the summit blockThis is a 2 for 99% of the hike. The summit block is a class 3 with a ridge that has exposure.
