Awesome view!

What would you rate the difficulty of climbing?

Any thoughts you would like to share before and after climbing?

Technically was pretty easy but there was quite a bit of snow on the ridge (pretty consistently waist to chest deep) so it was super slow going. Next time I think we'd try go up one of the faces so we could skin up but the avvy danger was a bit higher than we would've liked, so we stuck to the ridge, which was super ploddy :D

Wow, thanks for the great insights and explaining what you would do next time!
