Thanks for the reply.

The head wall switchbacks were still covered in snow but there was a talus scramble up the side so it was no big deal.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
