Thanks Aeldrin. I am doing my best to try and get more contributers to focus on the beta aspect (i.e. bold crux information), but it is a time consuming effort. Cheers.
It is also possible to descend from the Unnamed-Popes col if there is reasonable snow coverage. After passing the first rock band on skier's left, the descent will take you skier's right, which is out of the way of most of the rock fall coming off Popes. Probably best on a cool day.
I also agree with the rockfall assessment on the approach. We watched stuff come down there all day!
