Description

This route is a serious scramble and should only be attempted by experienced scramblers.

The ascent involves lots of climbing with heavy exposure, for which ropes and previous climbing experience are recommended.

The top is often covered in snow year-round.

The descent on the west side is long and through tons of scree, followed by a very long ‘walk’ to complete the loop.
