Sergio rappels down the north...

Sergio rappels down the north side of the summit block. While the other twosome up there with us chose to rap back down the South(east) Buttress, Sergio and I went down via the West Ridge Route. If you're skillful, you could downclimb this rappel. For the uphill, it's mostly class 4. A 60m rope just barely got to the end of the slabs. A 50m rope might leave you short on the slabs.
