Depends on the daily conditions, and the week prior as well. I get hit by all sortsa stuff regardless. Laughing

We didn't do this yet... logistics are kinda a bitch... private property, unless one wants to take an exit couloir down from SA Ridge into it. Route total would be about 1200M of around AI2, nothing hard, but very cool nonetheless! Amazing view, I bet. Lower section below "bowl" would be in shade for a while. It is my opinion that this would be a badass climb to finish at sunset.

Whammo:


Around 1220 meters of climbing. I'm measuring that from lower-snow levels in slightly-steeper parts. Won't know the figure till the climbing begins. 1220m does not reflect elevation gain for the day. Should be a car shuttle, Manker Flats to Cow Canyon Saddle. Hike in, go up that canyon (big if... never been there, could be a helluva canyoneering adventure, could be calm and easy), get into the couloir which widens into the face, head up West Baldy, and bam. Reaching Baldy would top route out at 10,000ft.

Here are some possible NF Routes, with names attached:


Taco - these images aren't showing up.  Can you repost or send via email?

I'm interested in doing Bighorn couloir.  I'll keep you posted when.

Which Bighorn CVOuloit/. That's Couloir when I type. Goddamn keyboard anger hate.

Here's the image. Should be an easy climb, but access would be the crux/big issue. Once you're in there, no biggie, just go.
