Thanks again for your input, it is really appreciated. -Patrick Thanks for the advice, I planned on avoiding the headwall of the ravine due to avalanche worries, and good call on the Balaclava and goggles, I don’t know how I missed them on my list but I do have them.

Just as an FYI, I didn't want you head up into the ravine only to be turned around and re-trace your steps. Put the Crampons on right at the trail head of the Lions head winter route. Gets pretty step pretty quickly and their are only a few comfortable places to put them on. I didn't see goggles or balaclava on your list. you may have them but you will need them! Good luck it is a wonderful mountain and the people are even better.
