Climbed via the Bravo Glacier route. Took the Mazama exit out of the Chimney to the right. Climbed the top 260 meters in mixed conditions: rock grade 5.8 (only a few moves of 5.8) otherwise 5.6/5.7-with the mixed coming in at MI 2. If the snow and ice were gone the climbing would have been easier...the route when dry is 5.7, a little more difficult when caked with snow and ice. The most airy summit I've ever been on, the most enjoyable climb I've ever done.
