Never saw that you ever agreed, so I did it for my 3X last weekend.
I'd never climb anything if I had to wait for anybody from SP to join me!

I have only done a video chat a couple times, and the topic of conversation that I require is not one that either of us would be comfortable discussing between us.
And no more going on and on about how you are old and slow, or you think I do not have the experience and skills to keep up with you in spite of it all. Cone Peak is hardly an outing where such a thing should be of great concern. We are both capable enough for a 3 mile hike so no sense throwing random non-issues into the discussion.

Why not go for a new mixed route up the direct NE face???

Definitely not. 35deg with a climbers right variation of maybe 600 vertical feet that is 45deg tops. Bring a snowboard or skis and it becomes a fantastically fun run, with plenty of other fun activities to be had in the neighborhood, not to mention views galore. Why not go for a new mixed route up the direct NE face???
As for George Creek Trail, I'll have to go up it once this winter to enjoy it in full conditions before we build the most excellent mountain bike ride in Eastern California
It could be different depending on the snow pack..but this is not the best news..
Mixed route up NE face? link or TR available?

It wouldn't be a new route if it had a link or TR available. Adventure is awesome!

Oh contraire my feathered friends!
Just repeat this in the winter for FWA! These guys pull down hard!

Look at the possibilities on that face. OMG LOL!
And about snow levels, year to year variability will not dramatically change the slope of a giant scree gully, save for the top out perhaps. Its pretty much always going to be 30-35deg. Now the upper variation on the other hand, which is narrower and much steeper, the conditions there will be far more related to the given snow/wind year and could be mixed rock ice snow, steep snow, or nothing at all!
