So the East Ridge is way less popular route. I imagine this is due to it needing a good amount of off roading to get to the trailhead and the east side being much much more rough.

We decided to go for the East Ridge hearing it was only class 3. In my opinion it is at least a very risky class 3 and it is quite easy to make it class 4. The rock on the east ridge has loss rock and dirt all over it.

Eventually I decided it was too much for my novice friend and we decided to pursue a route on the summit I hadn't seen mentioned somewhere else. There was a chute on the Southeast side that looked great.

It turns out the Southeast chute is beautiful white rock, no loose rock or dirt and is just a long 800 feet of class 3 scrambling. It was a wonderful route. It requires some walking on loose talus from the East Ridge around the summit block but it is well worth it. You end up ascending to the southern most point of the summit and slowly working to the north and higher point.
