Thought I'd cross-post this TR from Dan-the-man on CC.  Great trip, amazing conditions and fantastic company.  After the first descent in 1980, Chris Landry summed it up best by saying "It's a classic, definitely the finest descent I've ever done".

Skiied route(s) shown below.  Dan took the blue route while Casey/Eric/I took the red route.
nice report..
i have climbed up LR twice & down it once.  thinking skis would have been a nicer option than crampons on the way down...

well done

SWEET! Great TR and pics Dan.


You fockin' rock!  A classic in any era... and bravely done.  Here's to going down what most people only go up! 8)
