Nice granite slabs, quite bold in places. Good route. Did in good time (9 hours) from a nice, but cold bivi at the col. Back in time for cable car.

Approach longer than expected at 2.5hrs and difficulty finding correct descent route from col. Climbing felt quite stiff and gaps between gear placement long on 2nd pitch. Only made it to P5 when Pail took a tumble and broke his ankle.

EPIC...Dave led first 2 pitches, i then led p3 and 4 which felt like HVS 5a (ish) then Paul took over for p5.... got off route and attempted down climb above gear resulted in ankle breaking fall :( ...MR called out and we got choppered off. Still not sure i can quite believe it!! Upto there it was a great route that was very enjoyable... will go back at some point...

looks great, had problems finding the route which put us back too late to climb on so bailed and bivied, but weather was against us the next day. Access is important, turned round earlier in week due to wrong equipment. returned with crampons and axes and watched 2 other parties turn round. 2 days later saw people access in trainers after the snow had melted. Big climb.

A superb route and a very memorable big day out. Bivvied at Index the previous evening so we could make an early start - unfortunately, due to me mistranslating the guidebook headed entirely the wrong way along the main ridge. Took several heart-stopping excursions onto uncharted death scree before we realised our mistake. When we finally found it, the climb proved excellent, featuring both bold slabs and pumpy cracks. Took ages to scramble back to main ridge - probably took too high a line (yours truly's route finding again!). 16 hours all told. Second bivvy, feasting on the single Pepperami which was all we had left to eat. Food of champions. Led Ps 3,5&6,8,10,13 (ish).
