3rd Pitch. 5.8+ Climbing to Traverse isn't trivial. Traverse is tricky, but with right sequence wasn't too tough to follow. After that (not in picture), "balancey" 5.8 climbing to end pitch. This pitch doesn't let up but was fun!

The approach trail currently looks like this. There is a small cairn, but is easily missed (we blew right past it and ended up bushwhacking). Hopefully this photo will be slightly helpful. NOT an obvious trail.

One of the 3rd class approach to the first pitch. Start from the obvious weakness in the rock (an open corner with bushes) follow a 3rd class ramp right and up to a clean corner, the start the real climbing of the first pitch. Set up your initial belay at

Pitch 3. Climbing up towards the traverse.
