Description 

This classic route deserves a spot on every aspiring alpine climbers To Do list. The ridge offers sustained moderate difficulty with over 4000 ft of vertical rise in an amazing setting. The rock quality is generally good and objective danger acceptably low.


Protection 

An alpine rock rack and pickets. A small selection of ice screws may be needed but most climbing is on snow or rock.
