Thanks for posting. I'd like to attempt the SW Couloir this August so it's nice to have some extra information and pictures on this route since there's not a lot out there currently. Congratulations on your Guadalupe and El Cap summits. Nice time too.
Personally, I would do that route again. Despite the extra distance compared with the "standard" route, I am always willing to travel a little farther if it increases the chance of a successful summit. When it gets closer (i.e. summer) to the time you plan to go, just remind me and I can send you some route maps that will go a long way to your success. :-)
