Took the long loop as a daytrip:
The hike approach was long, the skin after that was good, and nice firm conditions for the final climb up the north side (complete fixed ropes from a Mazamas group).
SE ridge variation descent we took was way too gloppy, but still a fun outing.
Unfortunately my partner lost his camera the following day (on the Palmer of all places!), so only half the pics, but some others here:

Awesome! Jonathon, you are getting after it at the moment. I had to call off a very similar route on M. Sister a couple of weeks ago due to weather. I wanted to ride the next snowfield to the west. Nice to see you made it even if it was a bit soft. Here is a photo of the line from a couple of days ago taken from Broken Top.
