Prime rib has been in fridge uncovered for 5 days. Do I need to trim before cooking?

I thawed it 2 days, then salted it in preparation for cooking that evening. Well life happened and I havent been able to cook it. Its been 3 days since I salted it. Plans are to take it out at around 11 today, and put in the oven around 4 to cook. Due to the outside looking a little "dried out", should I trim the outer or should it be good to go as is.
Thanks for the help

Let me preface this by saying I've never dry aged beef, which is essentially what you did. But part of the dry aging process, I believe, is trimming it down to the fresh red meat.

Cook as is and you will get the best sear you have ever gotten. Rub a little fat on it (oil,butter, tallow, lard, whatever) prior to cooking and you should be fine.

It’s fine. Cook as planned.

I guess it only being two days is not enough to require trimming? Again, I've never done it.

This was consumed, and the eater is still alive.

Is it actually crusty?
As said, steak places that dry age will trim that off but I'm not sure its out of necessity or simply for looks? As said also, you want a nice dry crust so that you can get a good sear, I've salted steaks many a times and put them in the fridge for a couple of hours. Clearly different here, but same idea.

I don't think beef dried for just a few days will lose all that much moisture, but it might get a little crusty on the outside...I'd probably trim just a bit of it off just so you don't have any weird textures.

CAD. I'd know those toes anywhere.

I think he posted his gnarly toes again after that as proof of life
