Thanks for the info CB. I only toured there in the winter from west faces of mineral basin. When there is snow on the ground anywhere is the trail.[cool]
I have also thought about coming at it from the Devils Castle/Sugarloaf Peak side but by the time Snowbird/Alta will even let you do that the south faces get extremely warm and dangerous for avalanches.
I have a feeling I will be taking my ice auger there from snowbird, going down mineral just far enough, and skinning up the West facing hills of mineral basin to that drainage. Gotta get it just right though avalanche danger wise.
Thanks for the info, as I said the last guy I asked never got back to me.
