Description
A long distance for a remote peak. The view is exceptional and the reward for the stretched out Grausson Valley. Not a route for those looking for steep and straightforward tracks....
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
