I read on Wikki that they were contemplating putting a ladder on Island Peak because of objective dangers (crevasse)?
Now doesnt this seem a little OTT? Island Peak is nowhere near tricky enough to warrant doing this as I'm sure there would be numerous other ways to get up the face without too many more problems?
(Caviat - I climbed it less than 12 months ago and as far as Im concerned technically it was a piece of cake - tough because of altitude and also because it was my 25th day on the rd as well)
