Thanks for making this album. I've had my eye on this route for years now. I hope to make it up there soon and I have a much better idea of what to expect now.
I'm glad you found it useful. I actually went back to finish the route a few weeks ago. There's a trip report and video you can see here. I hope to post the same content on SP as well but I'm way too busy outside with the good weather lately.
I also went back and successfully summited this peak, just last week. The conditions are perfect for an ascent, currently. You could do it as one very long day, but I would recommend camping/bivying at the base of the West Ridge slopes in one of the nice mini-basins. If bivying, you can also find some great spots on the ridge crest, itself, early on.
that you both got to summit just recently! Thanks for the video link gimpilator, the video is awesome! Looks like a great day you guys had. I also like the idea of doing this as an overnighter Redwic. I just pulled off a 16 mile, 10 hour day trip last weekend, and those long days can be pretty rough toward the end. Thanks again guys.
