Hasn't voted | In September '93 we climbed what I think Secor calls the Wallerstein variation above the saddle at Apex peak - we climbed straight up to a yellow chimney (low fifth class), and then trended up and left on 4th class rock to summit about 5 feet from the summit register in an early season snow storm - glad we weren't on the Swiss arete. It was a great direct alternative with nice views and exposure on good rock when compared to the looser rock on the North Couloir descent route. |
