Fernow - Copper Peak Ridge Traverse

Two buddies and myself are planning a Maude, 7FJ, Fernow and Copper trip in late August, and we are curious about the ridge connecting Fernow and Copper. Anyone ever traversed it? Seems like most people drop down east to the glacier when going from Fernow to Copper.

Yeah, there were some intense parts, though I found most of it comfortable. The first crux I remember is some outward-sloping ledges getting up Copper via the ridge, which Beckey describes as "some miners did this, class 5". I also remember a rotten, exposed traverse near Fernow, which I would probably try to avoid if I did it again.
