After a short break, and a little more climbing, we got to this chute. The sun was starting to hit the snow off to our left, and we could hear frequent rockfall, but we were protected by a small ridge, and the chute was clear. It wasn't really as hard a climb as we'd been led to believe (it's rated class 3, but I'd call it a hard class 2). However, by this time we were tired again, and pretty sick of talus and scree!
