Solo'd Lincoln Falls Scottish Gully (WI3) up into the amphitheater. From there it's casual rock hopping or snowshoeing (climber's choice) to near the Diamond Couloir. From there I veered hard right (north, which deviates from the standard Amphitheater route) and got up on the east ridge via an obvious scree/choss slope, and then on to the summit. While windy, cold, and at times snowy, the route is fairly wind scoured and good to go. Micro spikes were worn through most of it. Snowshoes advised. EDIT: Crampons for the ice...
