South Face

Winter Routes
The South Face of Talbot marks the right hand edge of Macpherson Cirque. Don’t underestimate the effects of foreshortening, these are long routes taking most of the day and some of the night. Descend via Talbot’s Ladder, a relatively ‘avalanche safe’ descent, which is far longer than it looks.
The slopes above this face are among the most unpredictable in the area. Bear this in mind when considering a route on this cliff. Also bear in mind that the routes finish some distance below the top of Talbot. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that it's all over just because there's no more technical climbing.
