Wind loading and scourNotice that the snow (in this year at least) is collecting on the south side of the ridge.
The south side of the ridge does receive more snow loading and less wind scour. Check out this photo from winter:

Re: Wind loading and scourWow, the prevailing wind velocity from the north must be *intense*! From my recollection, the slope angles on both sides were relatively tame. It is surprising to see the north side scoured.

WowThis looks so much easier in summer. I was just up there two days ago and the ridge was impassable with massive couloirs and 100mph winds pushing us off the extremely narrow ridge onto the south side.
