Has anyone ever skied this? I have read some of the guide books out there. Looking for fidst hand info.

It's pretty straightforward with the right conditions. We started at TLine and car shuttled from HRM.

It's a great ski line. I did it twice last June from Timberline. Obviously it could be done from Meadows as well. Reasonable steepness with not too bad exposure from the top of the face. There would be more exposure if you skied it from the summit, but from the top of the face it is good to go.

 

Here is a link to a TR with photos:

Yeah it's good to go, and gets sun early (so I would watch out for big dumps, but otherwise it should be in). Sky and I did it last week, there's a TR on my site:

We did it from Timberline. It was a shame to traverse all of the nice corn snow, but it is easier.
