Approach:
We did encounter some ice on the road before the trail gets steeped that needed to be managed. One member of our group used micro spikes and another used a trekking pole which would be recommended. There was good snow coverage through the boulder field to get to the base of the climbs which made travel easy.Climbs:
Good ice flow across the area. There were likely 10 parties there on a Wednesday so it is reccomended to get there early if you have specific objectives and don't want to get behind other groups. It sounded like recently other weekdays were less busy. We climbed the Scottish Gulley route as two parties of two and then set up a top rope to the left of "Main Flow Right".Descent:
Its recommended to use the walk off rather than rappel, especially when there are multiple parties in the area and potentially climbing below you.
