didn't summit this top. too much snow and wind. | samfleming6 | 17/04/2017 |
We left the main ridge path to the west of the summit. Our route was harder than needed because we stayed near the crest: there is one point where the path drops down to the left to the base of an easier chimney. | Pete R | 21/05/2016 |
