The telluride mountaineering school used to regularly lead groups of this ridge every summer through the 1970s. As a guide there I did it a bunch of times. While the marked line suggests one of the most obvious lines, it is possible to do a easy 5th class ascent up any of the many paths of the Wham ridge, which as the pictures make clear is more of a face in the form of a concave anvil....strongly recommended! (I think you would have to look hard to find a 5.4 move on this route anywhere, though it is 5th class...)
