UKC

320m, 8 pitches. Classic grade 3 route high on the mountain. Natural drainage line with water visible on bottom icefall even after prolonged cold spell. Expect three decent pitches with steep snow between. Fan shaped exit can be topped by moderate cornices, mostly on the right side, but is liable to release large avalanches. Rock is quite compact with fewer cracks for gear. Cycling in to the end of the forest is recommended, and there are two small streams to cross on the walk-in. First one is shallow and wide, second one outflanked fifty metres upstream.
