Lead all the pitches for Zara. Started trending to right side of arete, might have been a little off-route. Ran it together to the top of the direct start. Took all day- Zara not on form, rope management problems, stuck behind others and even a long phone call from Dervey in Canada.

Great climb and a fun finish up the upper ridge

Amazing position! Think of the poor guys who put the route up - much easier to protect the sparse middle section with modern gear.

An absolutely superb pitch. From the large ledge above the crux slab the best (and easiest) descent is to continue 10m up the Ordinary Route and ab off the large pinnacle onto the Dress Circle.

Great. But probably worth abbing off after the first pitch as the Diff finish is a little disappointing.

I did this route one hundred years to the day after the first ascent. It was cold, with snow on some of the holds. Even with modern gear this is an exciting route. This is I believe the earliest route which still gets a VS (albeit MVS) grade. I love the story of the pioneers in 1892, who agreed not to report their epic climb in case other people tried to repeat it and were killed. How things change.
