I found two routes to the summit from the saddle just to its east, where the hiking ends. The one I took, which felt about 5.6, makes 3-4 super-exposed face moves around the corner to the south, then climbs safer class 3-4 terrain. Another route, which had a sling at the top, apparently climbs an exfoliating slab just north of the saddle before tunneling under a chockstone. I didn't try this route, but I would guess it is at least 5.8.
Both routes meet at a flat area between the several summit boulders. From there, some awkward groveling in a chimney (with cheater-step when I was there) and a class 4-5.easy move get you to the summit.
