Here's what I know:

 

SW Route is a Class 3-4 scramble. North Ridge is a Grade II Class 4 which should take about 6 hrs from the ponds at 5,700-ft on the shoulder. The Northeast Glacier route has narrow chaotic portions and probablis is only feasible in early summer. The East Ridge is Grade II, Class 4 (good rock along the ridge). the Southeast Ridge is a Grade III, 5.6 with considerable class 3-4 climbing (take a helmet). The South Face is a good summit route. There is some exposed scrambling (class 3); watch for loose rock.*

 

Hope it helps.
