Two related lines with different levels of commitment. The west option is the more reasonable of the two, and with effort it can be lapped by booting back up the chute. The east version is more complex and has seen at least partial descents via bootpack. There may be a workable entry off a small sub-peak above Hourglass, but donβt count on it without solid scouting. Both routes live under cornice exposure, so ridge travel and timing are key.
