Approach from Maybird Gulch for either the couloir or the ridge proper.
Descend the East Ridge returning either to Maybird Gulch via the headwall or eastern colouirs or traverse east to the head of Red Pine Canyon. Either way be aware of avalanche danger - including while descending from the summit.
Protection
As much of the route can be simu-climbed only a few nuts and cams along with a short rope are needed.
Agreed. Traverse on lower ridge w/ old fixed line clipped to old questionable pitons if I remember right. March '08. Awesome route when done together though - plan on full day
