Any beta/pics from out that way of Hopeful? Would be greatly appreciated, as would most any snow climb beta. Looking for this weekend. Thanks in advance

Also 'Hopeful' for this weekend. Maybe I'll see others out there. For those planning, are you approaching from the north (willis gulch) or south (sheep gulch)?

I was planning approach from the north, but I'm flexible. I won't be skiing and can only do Sunday. That part's not flexible, I'm afraid. I would be interested in some company, though, the more the merrier. Earliest I can start is 5, but I go pretty quick. Can't make the gathering, but if you guys make a plan keep me posted.
