Description:
Hike up the climbers trail on the SW side till you reach the ridge then start heading up and keep a eye out on climbers right for a trail that leads you up to the base of the summit. It is possible to just scrabble all the way up the ridge but just takes longer. Once at the base get over to the notch between the summit and north summit and start traversing around to the south. Class 3 scrambling till you reach one 100ft pitch of 5.6. Varied routes can allow for more pitches. There are rappel blocks for easy decent.
