Reynolds East Face, 9350ft.: SS-N?-R3/4-D2.5 Looked to have run yesterday. Average starting zone angle 35 degrees. A small patch in the middle below the very summit that was 33 to 34 degrees did not pull out. Crown roughly 600ft. wide, 12" deep, and ran 600 vertical feet to the flat. See this observation for pics.
