The East face ledge bypass on the summit pyramid is very easy and quite obvious once you are there. All 3rd class with a couple 4th class moves to connect ledges. The final short 4th class pitch is on the crest of the SE Ridge and is quite enjoyable and distinctly alpine. I belayed my dad up and down; no rappel necessary. Easy to solo if used to exposed terrain. Travel from Lone Tree to High Pass when snow free is not brushy; drop ~ 300' below Lone Tree and traverse benches to below High Pass. Makes for a long day but a great climb.
