Description:
From "Sierra Classics":From the north shore of Thousand Island Lake, ascend the pass north of the peak. Access the ridge from the east and climb to the summit of a small peaklet on the crest. A number of towers on the crest are passed on the east side of the ridge. From a notch above the tallest of these towers, climb a steep ramp on the east face of the arete to the low-angled summit ridge.

Crampons and/or an ice axe are nice to have for the final approach to the start of this route, as there is a large glacier in the way (hey, who put that there?)
