Super fun climb. I just moved to Idaho, so thought I would celebrate by climbing the north face of Mount Idaho!
The info on this SP page is very good. Today the section marked "Ice Bulge" on the photo/topo was mostly rock and would have involved some mixed climbing. I managed to cut left there and then angle back right to link snow all the way to the summit.
The climb went much faster than I was planning, I started at 4am, topped out at 6:45am, and was back in camp at 9am. No falling rock and good snow conditions at those hours of the day . . .
