The hemispherical thing means you'd be going in winter?

Ahh...I hadn't thought of that.. When's the best time to go? Other than our winter, because I won't be free then..

In reply to Caspar:

If you were to go during any other time during winter then you'd be a braver man than I am. The climbing season is roughly Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb and early March. Even during these months the weather can be extremely serious. Climbing it outside of these months would be extremely difficult, even on the non technical normal route.

I'd advise you to do a little research. Check this site out for good logistics/routes/general info.

Looks like I need to do a bit more research! Thanks!
In reply to Caspar:

I'm fairly sure the main climbing season is Dec-Feb. That's not to say you can't go outside those months but it would be tough going and flippin' cold.

In reply to Caspar: Might be worth investing in a guide book or perhaps do a search on here. Plenty of info available on this site alone.
