Borah North Face mid-June

I'll be passing through Idaho mid-June and am looking for fun climbs to do solo. With the fat snowpack this year, is Borah's north face a reasonable snow climbing objective? I've seen TRs in the fall for doing ice lines up there, but not much for early summer (maybe with good reason)? Are there other couloirs in the Sawtooths I should consider? I'm also open to cool rock scrambles 4th and under, and appreciate suggestions.
