Hasn't voted | This route is actually a very nice glacier and snow covered ridge that has nothing in common with the scree/cinder pile described by many people whose only experience here was made in late Summer. I have climbed in this area four times and the route in May bears no resemblance to the same route in August. This said, crampons and ice axes are not only recommended but essential for any safe climb on this route prior to the total meltdown that occurs in Summer. We did not rope up but under icy conditions, a rope would have made us all feel a lot safer. Summer climbers should bring helmets as the rockfall is continual. | |
