did the angle lessen on the east side of the glacier? ive been scopeing it out with my kmart binos, and cant tell if theres an entry through the cornice 6/3/7
Wow, sorry about replying so late - didn't even know I had a comment...
It's been a long while since I was up on Taylor, but I'm pretty sure the face of the glacier runs North and South. The routes accessible by the South fork were very steep and corniced (I wouldn't recommend trying to get over the cornice without using pro. The North fork (the route I took) was both narrow and steep at the topout crux, but was not corniced at all. Hope this helps, and isn't severely late.
