polarjud, that west side is tough. It took me 12 hours last year in perfect weather, (although I did climb Castleabra first and did the west ridge.) It was very unpleasant scree coming down the gulch. At least you got to enjoy the hot springs, which I think is always a treat. You'll have to come back and try again! :)
