Description
Nothing new here - people have been climbing Hallett's rock routes in winter for a long time. I found that Great Dihedral to Standard Route makes for an excellent mixed climb. The climbing is never desperate but is sustained and of high quality.
Notes:
Snow slopes at the base of the route can be avy prone.
A potentially dangerous cornice forms above the exit on Standard Route, and some tunneling is required to gain the summit ridge.
This route is not conditions dependent and makes for a great mid-winter climb.
