Belayed the 'shrund pitch and then simulclimbed the rest with TINA TRETINA. Last 40 feet at the top of the couloir was melted out and dry (loose rock). Couloir was mostly neve transitioning to ice.
My brother "dervin" and I climbed this on our Memorial Day bash in Yosemite. We used this as our acclimitization peak. The couloir was in great condition. We had a blast and great views from the summit. We descended via the walkers route.
A variety of conditions (from neve to thick brittle ice) made the climb quite interesting and fun. Being sick was not, as I was lethargic the entire day and could barely eat anything!
