Better Than The Standard Route...
... at least on this particular summit day. A lot of snow was on the ground and people were sinking through deep rock-wells in the snow along the standard route, nearly breaking their ankles in the process. I opted to ascend via the open non-snow-covered talus slope, as there were a lot less unknowns and movement was both swift and straightforward.
