I think I built it to be more difficult in my mind after reading the description years ago, but it wasn't bad at all! The 5.10 move on the "climber's right" might be a little airy, but easily protected with the pitons and nice crack. I shouldn't be one to talk though...I followed the whole way ;)
with Michal. Approach Fri, climb Sat, walk out Sun morning. Fun climbing, nothing too hard. The 10a section is not 10a at all, more like 5.8+. We got the tyrolian set up on our third try. 8 hrs from base to summit, we had no reason to rush.
The crux pitch wasn't that bad. We did the "climber's right" variation. Despite a late start (9:15am at the base of the route) and two other parties ahead of us we completed the route in 9h30min. Perfect weather conditions.
Climbed with tradmonkey, unfortunately winter got the best of us, and we had to bail into the 4th class gully to the summit just a couple pitches past the tyrolean. Awesome day though, and a lot of fun! http://www.summitpost.org/trip-report/265579/sun-less-ribbon-arete.html
Super fun, any time you can do a tyrolean traverse on a route you gotta love it. We did it car to car in just under 14 hrs. I would love to go back and set up a base camp, there is a lot more to climb in there.
18 hours car-to-car with travelin_light. This route is Badass! Some super airy climbing way up there, with a couple of difficult sections to keep you focused. We snagged the horn for the Tyrolean first try.
