Beta on the entrance gully for Forbid. W. Ridge?

[tnutsss]

Could anyone offer any beta (route description, difficulty) for accessing Forbidden's W. Ridge once that snow gully melts out? And for that matter, if it has melted out yet?

 

Thanks in advance

Go left.

Choada Boy, I gathered the variation was on rock to the climber's left; have you done these pitches? Do you remember the difficulty or anything specific? ( I am trying to gather as much info as possible on some routes in this area; please don't hold back)

 

PEACE

Seems like this question about the W Ridge Couloir variation comes up about once a month....maybe someone who has the power should just make it one of the sticky threads atop the NC Forum???

It's easy. Watch for loose rock.
