I’m glad to hear this response. I’m a fairly experienced backpacker but have 0 experience in the snow. I’m headed up with my dad on June 16 and will have all the needed gear: micro spikes, axe, etc.
Everyone seems to make it sound extremely perilous but from the videos I’ve seen and posts I’ve read it sounds reasonably safe. The chute sounds like a drag but with an axe it shouldn’t be dangerous. Just slow and hard. Might need to learn to glissade though ????
