Hidden - 2013

Hidden - AltLd dnf - 26/Aug/12

Direct start beneath seracs which were quite threatening and there was a lot of debris where we geared up. Start from E Face was impossible due to deep rimaye. Rappel down the route is tricky due to shallow angle and most raps were kept to 0m to avoid rope jams. Great route but longer than expected. Slog back to the Midi is a complete ball buster.
