Good climbingPenelope May-Smrz and I climbed this clean, aesthetic arete from our camp at Hungry Packer Lake in July 2002. We found the glacier very icy and the last few hundred feet a challenge with aluminum crampons and axes. The descent is very loose and steep. But the arete is beautiful and mostly class 4. Recommended.

Good routeNice route, but I suspect Moynier's classic route is the more difficult ridge to the left...
