Description Suggest change

This route is rated class 3 in guide books, but expect class 4 climbing in multiple spots. 

Start up the ridge until it becomes more technical, drop down a bit to the south side (climber's right), along class 3 ledges. As the ridge sharpens head back up to the crest, to a notch, across a low angle slab, then back off the crest on the south side. A little further it gets a bit tricky keeping it less than class 4 and finding the best path. This was the crux section for me. I took a sort of undulating line across the last section, to below where the summit is, then headed up class 3 and class 4. 

(There is a detailed description of the route on SP)

Descent:  You can go back down the West Ridge. Or, even better, continue along the ridge, past the summit a little ways, to the first major notch (or a little before), and head down slopes, taking the best line, to above Sam Mack meadow. This option is quicker and easier than descending the West Ridge.
