| Route Notes | Running out of time and technically climb was finished. "It just was enough" to have gotten to North Summit. We enjoyed this much and it was enough. Had decided on 1 May to go only to this point. Also all the time very strong winds and maybe we didn't like going on ridge in this wind. Hard ice on face and long route. 800-900m quite steep and because of hard ice quite difficult. On upper part of face lot of loose rock which kept falling but hit no one. |
