A big cairn on Roteck

This one is almost on the summit. I presume it's there in case of really bad visibility: on the way down, you don't want to end up on the wrong ridge! The normal route is mostly hiking, with a bit of scrambling thrown in, including one very exposed move. There is a cable though, to make it safer. The normal route is UIAA grade I. The other ridges are grade II and III, requiring a lot more scrambling and they take a whole lot more time. 4 August 2012.
