The Direct South Ridge climbs through this exposed section of easy 5th class. Someone has placed a fixed rope here to aid in ascent/descent. As seen in this photo, the wind can render it useless.

Early season snow Oct 2022. Powder makes this rather exciting, plowing through occasional thigh high drifts while scrambling/dry tooling steps. Probably better left as a spring hard packed couloir route.
