Climbed during a lean snow season on mainly snice with a little bit of rock/water ice. An engaging climb from start to finish. 250m of technical climbing + 100m of steep snow. The crux second pitch (WI4+) goes directly up a smear of steep ice - an amazing pitch of alpine climbing. Approached via Divers Col route. Descent down this via Greens east face.
