This climb is scheduled as a thank you for the volunteers supporting the 2025 IB course. This is an early-ish season attempt on the route, therefore participants should be comfortable scrambling on steep 4th class terrain while managing iffy transitions between rock/snow.
To be arranged by the climbing team.
