βeta: Could find abseil point (like previous post). Awful descent down gully and wasn’t the first judging by some gear left to create ab point towards the bottom of the gully. Judging by the look of some of the stone I suspect the main abseil ring on the route has sheered off. Worth noting that on a busy day in August we were the only ones on the route. Suspect it’s a known issue. | βeta? | |

βeta: Never found the proper descent to ended up sliding down some chossy gully, glissading down 300m of snow and running 5k to reach the last lift. We never felt more alive. | βeta? | |

βeta: the first two crux towers (which each have a bolt for protection) can be easily bypassed on the right if ability/conditions dictate. | βeta? | |
