Great series, Radek!Again I marvel at your & Shirley's sheer drive (pun intended)!!! Looks awesome- would you rate it a .8 or a .9 (seen both suggestions)? I would love to do that climb later in the summer.

Re: Great series, Radek!Thanks Dirk!
It's an .8 I think. A few pitches have some .8 terrain but with exception of P1, these sections are brief and separated by low 5th class. P1 (as per Supertopo) is the crux IMHO. Relatively sustained and with some small pro (small stoppers and micro cams) on lower half (and a bit of loose rock on lower 1/2).
Think you'd enjoy this route not so much for its sustained technical climbing but simply due to the setting (I wish you a much better weather than we had though!!!). take care.

DescentIs the descent snow free right now? Or do you need boots and an axe?

Re: DescentThere's a short (30-40) foot section of hard snow/ice to cross about 150 feet below summit on the standard s. face descent. You could probably rig up a rap past it or find another way around it.
