Harlan- I didn't mean to imply that there was significant danger.
The OP initially stated that he had no mountaineering experience and was here inquiring about the class 1 Telescope trail.
Just wanted to throw in a word of caution since we were recommending an early season trailess scramble up what I believed to be a known avalanche slope.
SP has a habit of not tempering recommendations to the requester's experience level.
(For example, the recommendations for the Badwater start on Telescope in May)
