Leader's notes

An excellent early season Alpine climb good for practicing crampon technique, ice axe technique, using a fixed line to ascend technical terrain and rappelling. There may even be a glissade on the descent. An excellent opportunity to practice the skills learned in your basic climbing course, or as a early season trip to shake off the rust for more seasoned climbers.
