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".

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
