Depending on the snow conditions, your climb may start immediately at the base of Geurts Ridge to the right (South), usually slightly below or near 7000' elevation. In very moderate snow years there may not be enough to fully enjoy this and it could be a horrible bushwhack thru heavy growth and loose rock.
The top of the Couloir is at 8740' and you have a few options here. You may choose to summit either or both peaks, North 8959' or South 9026'. If you choose the latter you may descend the Mount Olympus trail. Another interesting option would be to glissade down the couloir to the East and arrive in Neffs Canyon although this could be a ruthless bushwhack to a trail in Norths Fork.
