We went up all 3 peaks of Tripoli Mountain. It is easy scramble, mostly hiking, except a few "difficult" steps with serious exposure on east side near the summit (a few Class 3 moves). The first slabby cliffband at the base of Peak 3 can be bypassed on climbers right, as we learned on the way down. We returned via the long ridge that abuts Rocky Pass, unofficially known as "Tripoli Ridge". This was the best part of the outing. The ridge narrows down for considerable distance and offers lots of scrambling opportunities. Significant exposure in a few places but the rock is good where it needs to be.
