The SW Face route , looking...

The SW Face route, looking from part way down the Thompson-Powell Col on the south side. Note that you need to go a long way over to find one of several chutes you can take to the summit plateau. If you don't go down far enough, you'll end up taking a chute to the West Ridge which is definitely not class 3 as advertised. This view makes it look like a climb all the way as shown, but most of the red line is a traverse with more downclimbing to get around the buttresses leading up to the West Ridge.
