If you are in Summit County this a a good quick hit mountain with arguably the best view of Grays.
With more time it would be cool to make a big circ of the basin covering Ruby, Grays, Edwards and Argentine! Grays south ridge goes at class 3/4

Looking back to Edwards. I believe the couloir from the saddle is 'The Edwardian'
