Mt Borah North Face as early season snow climb, other Sawtooth Scramble Recommendations? (Idaho)

I'm road-tripping from the east coast to Seattle mid-June, with scheduled stops in CO and WY for some moderate snow climbing and rock scrambling (I'll be solo).

I've seen TRs of Mt. Borah in the Sawtooths done as a fall early-season ice climb and generally it gets described as such. With the fat snowpack this year, on paper, sounds like it could be a fun moderate snow scramble. I don't see a lot of TRs for this area in general, and none for this mountain in early season. Is there a good reason?

Any other moderate Sawtooth scrambles worth thinking about? This area is just out-of-the-way enough that I'd like to sample its worthwhile offerings while driving through as I don't see myself heading back that way willfully in the near future. Since I'm solo none of the finer alpine rock routes are on the table.

It's not the North Face, but same mountain.

and YES there is a very good reason why no one is on the North Face this time of year. Unless you are a great skier and can hit the perfect conditions to avoid wet slides, I would stay clear of the North Face for 2 months.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks, I figured that there was avy hazard up there but didn't know specifics.

FYI...Mt. Borah isn't in the Sawtooths...

A recent ski TR from local climber/skier Dean (who'd be the guy I'd contact about conditions):

I think unless you have some good local avy/snow conditions beta, or, really great avy skills, springtime in the area can be very difficult to judge especially in the very early morning of a pre-dawn start.

North face is great fun!

Thanks. I kinda figured the avy potential was certainly big right now, and could persist into summer. Figured it was worth asking, I appreciate the opinions.
