Hey Folks,
My buddy and I are looking to head up the West Arete route on Constance this weekend. We were thinking about the Red Dike route, but the lack of a topo and beta (outside of the Mountaineers book) is making us hesitant to head around to that route.
Anyway, are the rats bad again this year? That seems to have been a problem in that area the last few years.
I wasn't planning on bringing 'pons (only an ice axe) shouldn't need'em to get up to Crystal Pass, eh?
Thanks in advance,
~Adam
