East Face - sun in the morning, shaded in the afternoon.
South Face - sun all day with a flat grassy - very group/family friendly - base.
West Face - shaded in the morning, hot all afternoon...

Getting There

Fastest most direct approach from the SW involves crossing private orchard land (ask for permission first!). Approach time about 20 minute.

A longer approach from the Whistler Canyon Trailhead to the north (1+ hours) is possible.
