Vanis Couloir - Breithorn NF
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2005 12:35 pm
Hello,
I was wondering if someone has climbed the vanis couloir to the east summit of the breithorn. It seems a beautiful, direct line to me, but is it really? I like to climb it next summer (and i have the skills and experience ). The small biwak at the roccia nera seems a good starting point. However, i was wondering if the approach is still ok, because the gorner gletsjer has these really weird crevasses. How is the route itself, exposed to rockfall or safe? I have an guidebook of 10 years old and with the new circumstances (routes like these in may/june) i like to hear some recent stories.
Any information/advice is welcome!
Greetings Bas
