This route draws a direct line on the Southwest Face of the Miter (higher N Summit).  Start from discontinuous ledges at 5.6 terrain, generally following a crack system.  The lower 2 pitches have loose rock on the ledges, and the higher you climb, the better the rock quality becomes.  Generally veer left towards the summit.  The upper 3 pitches all have enjoyable, and brief, well-protected stretches of 5.10 climbing.  About 100ft below the summit, unrope, and scramble up 3rd/4th class terrain to the true summit.  

Descend via the NW Chute route.

SW Face of the Miter's North (higher) summit.
