Tough conditions (rime, windboard, and wind lips galore) on the upper face keep this line from attaining "classic" status, but if you find your way to the couloir you are certainly in for a great run. Be aware, this line is exposed and cuts through complex, cliffy terrain. By ascending the ridge to the north you should be able to study the face before dropping in.
