Another Buckner North Face Route

[JoshK]

So it's sweet to see a new route up there. My question is if this route has been climbed (see yellow arrow). This seems by far to be the most obvious line on the face and I'm surprised it wasn't the first new route.

Some reputable sources informed me this route has been unclimbed though has been attempted. In fact it was our objective for this trip. However, when we got there it did not look very attractive as the coliour/gullet was filled with snow. Concsensus is it might make a good early season route, given proper conditions.

Ok, that is sort of what I thoguht. Like I said, i figured if somebody was going for a new route, that would be the logically first choice. I've always looked at it in pictures and wondered what it would be like.
