Location
The GPS coordinates for the approximate start of the climb are: 39°23'15.9"N 106°08'29.3"W.
From the trailhead, make your way South over the lake. Make your way past the first large couloir on the East face. Make your way to a V-shaped couloir which usually holds ice on the East face. After making it though the choke of the couloir and climbing up a bit of snow, the route begins on the face to the S.
You can descend back down the face or move South across the snowfield and descend a very steep couiloir.
