North Ridge

Type: 
Alpine
Description: 
A bold climb beginning near Richardson Bivvy. Climb the rock and ice until the ridge is reached, turn a large gendarme on the eastern side, and regain the ridge on solid red rock. Cross two chevals separated by a hand traverse with a 600m drop on the west, before completing the final scramble on deteriorating quality rock. An excellent alpine challenge.
