Climbing up to the crest of the Geneva Spur

Climbing up to the crest of the Geneva Spur on the way to camp 4 on the South Col route. You can see several old fixed ropes dotted around. This section has plenty of old rope in various random positions, probably placed in a logical place at the time based on the conditions, but with the little snow covering that we experienced some of the old ropes took bizarre routes. The dots at the top right are climbers crossing the yellow band. The climber is American Jason Maehl, 18 May 2009.
