Didja get a look at the North Face Couloir schrund situation?

[summitseeker]

Yes. It appears to span the face but isn't that wide -- some air on the descent and you can cross it. Casey and Lars skied that line. Not sure how it would be on the ascent -- might be a way across -- didn't look that closely.
