John30587Question on the climb?

Hasn't voted

I'm planning to do this climb in July 08. Just wandering what protection you used for the upper snow slopes? Pickets simu-climbing or just roped up? Brilliant shot!

the iceaxe in the snow :)
On the whole route I haven't used any other protection than the iceaxe, just exiting the ice colouis, in the mid, I put the iceaxe into a crack in the rocks.
thanks :)

I went to climb it as a teenager, but it was my first time at altitude and I had a bout of mountain sickness. So it's very nice to see more of the face. Thanks.

not long and not so easy ... but maybe a little too strong for a teenager ...
you could do it now, 55 are not so many :)
