"Climbed solo from the south side. Next level wind on the top 1/3, the gusts knocked me down a few times.
Biked along the Drywood Falls trail about 3 km. Left the trail about 1 km before Drywood Falls, climbing through an open meadow, avoiding the treed areas with heavy snow. Followed the ridge right of the gully. Stayed well right of the waterfall. Once above the highest cluster of mature trees turn left to make the ridge.
At this point, one would be tempted to simply follow the ridge up to the peak. This is a mistake. The whole area is a mess of loose boulders, just waiting to break an ankle, and with a crosswind of 100+ km/hr, it was tough going. Instead, head into the gully to the left, and follow the gully up the hill. The footing is much better.
After that, follow the ridge to the peak.
I did not find a summit log. But I did find boot tracks in the snow, partly drifted over. Someone else had been up in the last few weeks.
6 hours round trip" — AaronKauffman48 • Jan 13, 2023

"The route was a mix of bare and snow that was either deep, crusty, hard or ice. I donned snowshoes and crampons two times each. On a short snowy steep section on an otherwise bare ridge, I used the ice axe to cut about ten steps in the hard snow to reach the dry rock and scramble up." — Randy • Jan 10, 2023

"Great day out! The approach was surprisingly snowy. The NE ridge was mostly dry except for the final 100m, which was mountaineering conditions, including the exposed summit ridge. Bypassed summit ridge and class 4 crux cliff on descent." — yurilemermeyer • Jan 7, 2023

"An evening trip to catch shots the full moon. Standard hike/scramble route. Below tree line is hard-packed and/or icy. Above the chimney, the trail is bare rock, or firm snow. " — ivo • Jan 6, 2023

"Great season starter for 2023. Perfect weather for a winter outing. The route through the first cliff band was mixed snow climbing, but otherwise a snowshoe and scree slog. Second cliff band could be walked around with some easy route finding." — yurilemermeyer • Jan 4, 2023
