Anything is feasible ... we did this traverse last year. Albeit on a more leisurely schedule. You say in a day which to me means car to car. I guess the biggest question is timing. If you want to hit the summit around 9pm that means coming up during the heat of the day when snow conditions could be rather sloppy. Just make sure you start your descent soon after the show is over otherwise you will be dealing with the masses coming up in the morning.

The ice fall danger is over in less than a minute. That is if you do the rap and go straight across and not like the knuckleheads who we watched walk up along the side at 3pm. As for the rest of rock nothing I would be too concerned about.

 

I should add that whether going for it in a day or over three days going up and over is a hoot. I have done 6 such up and over traverses and really enjoy doing the hill in that style.
