kunk: what do you mean by exposure? Like wind, sun, etc.?

Slip and die.
Do not attempt the ridgeline if there is any snow/ice on there.
Being afraid of heights I have never attempted the ridgeline as the exposure is too much for me. The hike up to the ridgeline is worthwhile on its own.
In good condition, without a fear of heights its just a walk on a two foot wide path. Wet or snowy you are asking for trouble.
Here is a good picture of the final ridge walk.
