Outstanding alpine adventure.
Outstanding alpine adventure. Wildly underrated. First few pitches have a number of options and great rock. Easy if you know how to jam! Then consistent engaging climbing with the main ridge crest mostly scramble-able after 3-4 pitches. Only the odd spot forces a detour (usually chossy) or re-use of the rope (slow). Often excellent rock with fun moves over bulges and up short splitter cracks. A small rack of finger - hand size cams and a few wires would suffice.
