Stuart's Northwest Buttress descent

Anyone here descended this? Thinking of bivy at Goat Pass with a return this way after doing the CNR.

 

 

Thanks,

i have, it kinda sucks! loose unprotected 4th and 5th class downclimbing with a rappel every now and then. as of one week ago the sherpa was in great condition as a descent with one tool and some crampons.
