I dont remember a snowfield at the top of the col. I remember trying to traverse over to the gully to access the start of the route but snow forced us up and gradually right until we got to the narrow ledge from which the route starts.
and if you keep going
p.4 crack to chiminey
p.5 traverse with Ao move
p.6 stiff 5.9 face with scary mantle finish
last 2 can be combined i hear from boobyp
i dont think this web site is lame, and if it were it would not be my fault. i admire your enthusiasm for hard routes be they sport or other. i personally could never get excited about a route that short no matter how steep hence my poo pooing c.r. but more POWER to you.
the trangos will be the best rock climbers, except for possibly the merrels which I have not seen. make sure your toe boxes are narrow enough for the sportivas or you will be in a world of hurt. i have a pair of trangos and a pair of nepal tops and love both although rock climbing in the latter is challenging.
