| Climbed the route which was mostly snow, on a cloudy day. Fortunately the clouds split for a while on the summit for us to get a view and made the descent a little simpler. Thunder greeted us immediately before rapping down the face from the AA col. That got us going! All in all a great adventure and a beautiful route. However later that year the snow and ice completely melted on some sections and exposed the loose rock below. Therefore the route may not be as enjoyable later in the season in the coming years. | |

| We camp the night before the summit just at the bottom of the glacier. The next morning we started our summit attempt. Due to the fact that we climbed Mt. Andromeda late in the season most of the snow already melted which maked quite a difficult tast to find our way through the gigantic sir-rocks. We moved very slow but finally reached the famous bergshrund which separated the 50 deg wall from the glacier. Being only 200 m from the summit the thunderstorm suddenly stroke and we had to retreat. The weather conditions on that day were far from being desired. Thus we decided to take our chances in other parts if the Jasper/Banff Provincial Parks. | |
