We have climbed the West Peak at 24.10.2006 via the Glacier route. We found some more or less big crevasses (one must be passed by climb in and out). But more important I don't understand the benefit of a C1 on the glacier plateau between West and East Peak. This place is at about 5200m and therefore only 260m below the summit.
We started from the base camp and needed 6.5 hours to the summit.
