This is the beginning (or end) of a day-long climb up to 'The Lip' and onward to Granite Pass, some 6000 feet of elevation change. If possible, plan your trip to come down this side at the end of your loop, rather than starting off at this intensely steep slope with all the food and full backpacks.
