Just a difficult scramble Anita, no more than a couple of mid 5th class moves, but most would not be comfortable with the exposure...therefore very few ever visit the south summit, but it is the highpoint, and considerably better views than the norh summit I might add....Cheers!

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
