This 40m section, the first part on the SE ridge from the central saddle, was the crux of the route. Without snow I'm sure that it's an easy scramble, but I think that the snow made it easier still. You can see the trail I made. I had crampons, but didn't bring an ice ax. Instead, I punched my fists in the snow. 23 may 2011. |  Image DataImage Type(s): Alpine Climbing, Scenery |
