Stunning looking peak. Saw it mentioned on the Fowler interview thread, so had to check it out.

Any stories? Approach heinous? Routes?

A number of routes are described on Mountain Project, http://www.mountainproject.com/v/east-fork-valley/105845558. SteveA posts here and knows a lot about the face.

Joe Kelsey, Barbara Thacher and I did something on the NE face BITD that doesn't seem to be described on MP. It ended up at the summit but I think climbed left of the routes described on MP. I had to improvise some aid up a dripping wet overhang that could definitely be climbed free if a bit drier (or wet as it was by someone better than me). I think we had a pitch of 5.9 and quite a few in the 5.7--5.8 range. My guess at the time was that the overhang, if a little drier, would go free at 5.10---there were certainly holds and jams available.
