| Did this climb about six years ago. On the final approach the slope was whomping, moving, and settling all around us as we wallowed and swam uphill to the base. It would be a pretty spectacular setting for an avalanche. Better bring your snowshoes. |

| I did this climb all the way to the summit of the ridge in 2009. Good first pitch and then lots of snow sloggin' with WI3 steps mixed in. Not much beyond the 1st pitch in terms of hard ice. A fun couloir climb nonetheless. |
