When I saw that pic I too was thinking to myself how those miles of hollow unstable cornice wallowing looked soooo much better than the protectible solid rock underneath.
The TFT is about 1 mile of ridge running, and the rock on the N side is not reported as solid and protectable. I've only climbed Torment myself and it was OK, but not solid by any means.
Tom is right - it is harder in winter and conditions are critical, but this winter could set up to allow such an adventure. Personally, I will stick to less serious objectives however. :-)
