Breezy and Wind Ridge. Walk off after two pitches, or continue to the summit.
Beginning of optional 3rd pitch, described in Steve Levin's book as "an orange open book." Once over the top of the book, traverse right to a chimney (lots of loose rock here) and follow the face to the top (tri-cams could help protect the easy face leading to the summit).

Starts of Breezy and Wind Ridge.<br> The purple line is the easy start to Breezy (5.5). The harder (5.7) "flake" start to Wind Ridge is the green line, which I highly recommend. Alternately, you can avoid the layback over the flake and do the easy Breezy start, then traverse right to join Wind Ridge (blue line) just above the flake.
Breezy with the direct start. Most climbers walk off after the second pitch, but the third pitch is also worth doing.
Leading 1st pitch of Breezy. 'Twas rather easy.
2nd pitch highlight of the climb. Takes plenty of gear.
Top of the second pitch.
About halfway up the second pitch of 'Breezy'. Very nice pitch!
