"Sketchy" is very much in the eye of the beholder.

For sure. I'm one beholder who finds that pass no big deal. As mentioned, there's a little rush from looking down it, but that's about it. Its looseness is not the kind with marbles on a hard base, it's stable stuff that may slowly slide down an inch or two with each step.

The real pain of Polaris Pass is the 40+ switchbacks that take their sweet time losing elevation.
