P2 - Move right, climbing easy knobs, until it reaches a somewhat rotten crack. Follow the crack to the top of the tower. Build an anchor amongst the boulders (5.6) P3 - Down climb abit form the notch and gain the slabby face. Move past three bolts, over an easy trough to a bolted chain anchor. Rappel down the adjacent route ( 2 ropes) or scramble to the summit - 400 feet of 3rd class.

There is also an easy walk-off.
