Thanks for the beta picture! I ended up giving Guyot a shot for the first time and it turned out to be a pretty tough climb with the current conditions. I had to snowshoe from the first creek crossing all the way up to the ridge. From then on there were a few snow crossings, but mostly you could stay on the rocks. By the time I was on my way down, the snow on the ridge descent was a lot softer, so I ended up having to plunge step my way down instead of using snowshoes (I wish I had taken my ice axe as it was fairly steep). I didn't see any other climbers on the mountain today.
