This hides the fact that the red volcanic breccia is less than perfect rock, and some routes can be done on moderate snow with some limited 3rd-4th class climbing. In contrast, little technical climbing has been reported, and what has is not destined to become classic. The summit views are excellent.

Since it guards the very head of Glacier Basin, all approaches are from that trail. Leaving the trail and joining various ridges will assist in such endeavors.
