Description
Big, wandery route.
Hop off the glacier and onto the rock. After 2-3 pitches there's a large ledge. Angle up and left towards a big chimney system where the climbing steepens.
It is still not straightforward - routefinding was our crux, but it is less wandery. Simply difficult to pick which crack system to use, as none continue perfectly.
