P3 - Climb for 50m utilizing mainly tree anchors along the way

P4 - 50-70 degree snow and ice will lead to a small col about 60' below the summit block

Park at upper Alpental parking lot. Travel up the valley towards Source Lake and eventually towards the basin below the east face of Chair Peak ~4200'
