The last several years this couloir has not been in shape at this time of year (ie. melted out gap). I don't think I've read about anyone climbing it in autumn ice / neve conditions since 2006. Curious to know how it is currently faring .. should be visible from the dam at South Lake with binocs.

It's sure a fun climb when in condition !

I think you will be pleasantly surprised this year; that is, if it looks anything like everything else as far as 'phatness' goes. It is likely still skiable! LOL.
Have fun!

Rob, when I was up there 3 weeks ago it was not melted out thru the thin mid section. But certainly did not look like ice.

Neve can be fun, and fast too

Went up today to get a closer look. Melted out in the middle again this year -
Thompson's Harrington couloir (rightmost) looked like a nice snow climb -
