Description

Cross over the bergschrund, traverse a series of vegetated ledges, and then climb the ridge onto the east face. Climb a pitch of fist crack (crux) and traverse the spine to the summit.

Protection

Single rack from .3 to 3. Double 1 & 2. Six or so smaller stoppers. A bunch of alpine draws and double length runners. Bringing rap tat is a good idea. Some of the rap stations use quite long pieces of tat.
