I'd been daydreaming about doing that route for a couple years now, so the climb was very satisfying. It was pretty much the same route as the one you wrote up on SP, just a couple ledges to the east of yours. The snow wasn't bad, but I actually moved over to the rock for the last 500' of the climb to keep from triggering more ice fall.
Your comment pretty much sums it up: "The face is visible for a good deal of the 4 mile approach hike and that’s ample time for the would-be mountaineer to feel the sting of pre climb jitters."
For Bad Rock, there was a nice 40-45 degree snow chute (it'll be gone in a week) that climbs from the lake and gains the ridge at about 10700', not sure how the ridge would be above that point. I've should have a couple photos of White Cap from Pass Lake that I can post.
