The arete is pretty striking from a distance. The rock is not the best in several places, but, overall it'a a good alpine climb and at least a long grade IV, going all the way to the summit, which some people skip and escape into the descent gully. I liked the route, actually thought about trying it in the winter some years ago, but had tough time skiing in so gave up on it. Worth the longish approach. The solitude is great.
