Classic Route

The original route climbs the large Cedar on the NE side of the building to gain the lower roof.  From here step onto the stairwell windowsill and mantle onto a large ledge.  Walk left to the south face of the building and continue past the turret to reach a low-angled section of the roof that leads to safe ground.  Climb a corner to the summit cupola (crux).  The route can be drastically abbreviated by climbing out of the window in room 402, where it meets with the main ledge system.

Descend the climbing route.

Because of the easy nature of the climb, as well as its historic significance, this route serves as an excellent date function for those who are a little more adventurous than most.
