Climbed with Will Alpine, car-to-car in 8:32.
Our first time up the climb; started from Esmerelda TH at 5:10am expecting a huge day, but it was smooth sailing and an awesome day overall (besides my pack's shoulder strap snapping). One snow patch getting into the Cascadian Couloir was super soft – no spikes necessary. But Cascadian Couloir probably the crux for me, with all the sand in our shoes 😅
We had a 30m little rope and tied in to simul-climb, but did not find it necessary – wouldn't bring one next time.
