north face

I was thinking of this route a few years ago but I heard that it's almost melted nowadays.. It was very difficult to find any current photo at internet.
Greetings!

Re: north face

here is a picture of 2010. You should only go there if it is well covered with snow

Re: north face

I don't know the month - the author only states "late summer". March/April should be fine if avalanche conditions fit. See Herbie's route page...
I did this in September 1990, after some heavy first snowfall. But then there was still a complete basis of ice below the snow.
