Your slides could do with a clean!

It would be fantastic if you could put another one up with the route line and the location of the other photos on the route -- would make a great series!

PS -- I'm sure some people know the route, but for those who aspire to harder routes it is very interesting to have as much info as possible.

Thanks for your comments. I'm not sure I could do a pic with a line on it, but we basically took a line staying left of the lower seracs on the right, then moved right above them towards & onto the rocky spur leading to the shoulder, generally staying clear of the expanses of water ice. The steepest section was moving right above the RH seracs.

I think I can follow that description. Sounds amazing. Looking at the other photos and trying to piece it together I wondered whether you entered the thin gulley just R of the RHS of the main ice face at the top. Either that or the two dots at the extreme top right are enormous and are the boulder blocks in one of the other photos. Anyway -- amazing photos. The only other ones that I have seen on here of a similar route are of the NF Tete Blanche, so they are quite rare -- put up more!!!
