| rgg | Normal route Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2009 | |
| It was a beautiful day for it. No wind at all, lots of sunshine. We climbed the left hand side of the ice face, because we had heard that there was a big bergschrund on the other side. The upper ridge was a bit easier than I thought it would be. Perhaps that's because I was on an emotional high after climbing the steep ice face. While at some places the ridge was steep too, it was easier because it wasn't the knife-edge that I somehow expected it to be. Up to this day, this is my favorite climb! | |
