Sill was a bit rough. After the very long tedious talus slog to get to it's base your given the option to go up 3 or 4 chutes. I took the one on the right and half way up crossed over to the next one on the left. This ended at a choke point with some vertical class 5 climbing. After a couple attempts I had given up on it and finally I gave it one more shot on this slab of rock that is protruding with a single crack for hand holds and a single foot hold. My intent was to shift my body a bit sideways in order to shimmy over to some better holds but as I did so my only foot hold broke loose violently and my body slammed down hard on the face of the rock which I had maintained my hand holds but it left a gash from my waist to the center of my chest. Now that the route was completely impossible without the one foot hold I began searching for other routes. I had started up another class 5 face when I decided that the sort of climbing moves that were needed to get up this face was completely crazy without being roped up as a fall would be fatal. Finally I was able to hook out around some rocks and take another vertical class 5 bit of rock but before I made it out of this I had a hand hold break violently causing me to cut my hand some and I had to friction climb up a notch in a rock to finally get back to class 3 and on to the summit.
Of course on the way down I took another route which was the first chute directly off the summit which was a mid class 3 way down.
