on reaching the summit of Kintla as well as for putting up an excellent route page. I enjoyed reading it and I am also looking forward to climbing it soon!
Thanks, it's an exciting route. And after climbing it, I realized some may benefit from a little more description than offered in Edwards book. Hopefully this is a welcome addition.
Thanks. It's probably a more realistic route for most as well, since the Akokala Crk route would only be viable for a few diehards (especially after doing this route - it was hard enough!). I'd still hazard a guess that many would prefer the North face route from the Kintla/Kinnerly saddle, as that route looked very straightforward from the top (nothing more than Class 3), although it would require climbing snow.
