Traverse E along the S Face of the West ridge about 100' to a shallow blocky gully. Scamble the first section of the gully and then belay up to the ridge crest past two solid pitons (about a 50' pitch). Easy scrambling along the ridge leads to the summit block. The last section of the ridge is exposed. A belay may be needed. At the summit block traverse an obvious ledge to the N. ridge. One belayed low 5th class pitch and easy scambling leads to the summit. This route is not to be confused with the SW gully route that was done as a Basic Climb many years ago and which should not be repeated. Small stoppers and any-size cams useful for running belays.
