Route Notes C2 occupied by 2 members only. Was a problem on route where large group climbs together slowly and leaves no space for others to cross. So many teams put in ropes and result was "mess" with thin ones, thick ones, old ones, new ones. (Alberto Romaneschi did not have to be helped to descend, as other teams told me).
