Help understanding Aspen VOR/DME approach

At Aspen, by the time you get to the MAP you will have so much ice,
decending at the required 10 degrees will be no problem (hah, hah).
Not even a concern in a light aircraft. The ice and downdrafts will
likely have you in your final resting place at least 5 miles north of
the airport, if not atop the 11,775' peak upon which Red Table sits.
Extra points given for knowing which way to read the localizer on the
missed approcah (is it normal or reversed, answer quick now....)
Most of the birds that can fly this approach when it is needed have LNAV
and moving maps. They don't tune the missed approach LOC.
