I climbed it about 20 years ago. I think our route can be clearly seen in this photo. We hiked up the ridge along the right. Then we roped up and climbed the last bit, going up along the left side of the peak. Had a beer at the top, then rappelled down the vertical face you can see on the right.
Climb wasn’t that hard, I think others have said it’s a 5.3. But it was made more difficult by the temperature and the fact we couldn’t feel our fingers. It’s strange trying to tell if you have a good grip when your hands are numb.
