| Nikman | Nice one | | 
Voted 10/10 | Looks like there´s not a big cornice on the summit ridge this season. | | Posted Jul 31, 2007 12:52 pm |
| | hhsilleck | Re: Nice one | |
Hasn't voted | Thanks! The cornice is still pretty bad above the Ferrari route (where the accident occurred a couple of years ago I think). This season people are climbing the French Direct to the summit almost exclusively.
