βeta: Very chossy, more of an alpine peak than an alpine rock climb (the guide book states \"good gear and good rock\" this route has neither). It is also about 15+ pitches long, it\'s not clear the 500m stated in the book is elevation not length of climb in the book. Tricky descent, lots of loose rock. | βeta? | |
