PleaseClimbers,
please be careful rappelling on this mountain. I climbed with my friend Mike last July and found the descent very dangerous. Four weeks later my argentinian friend Guillermo died on the descent.

No ice?!I have been in july 5th 2008 on this route. We found ice (!!) on the last 2 pitches below the summit ridge. On our way down, we used 2 Abalakov on that part.
So, I will not be so ferm to say "no ice" on SE face of Arteson.
all best,
Marian Anghel
