the line of The West Chimney route...

Can confirm at least 8 can fit on the summit.

On top at dusk.

Hike Greenleaf Trail for ~10 minutes. The steep path on the left will take you up to the Eaglet! The rocky path on the right is the continuation of Greenleaf Trail. There's often a cairn on the boulders between these two paths to mark the left trail.

Bottom of the first pitch, belay on the comfortable rock plateau. The hiking path continues further up past the Eaglet to the Falcon Wall.

7 fit on the summit if you're willing to try

Anchor on the top of of P3. After building my anchor, I soon realized that the top 15 feet of rock is just sitting there, with a hole underneath.

You've gotta stand in the hero spot!
