Trip: Johannesburg - 1957 NE Rib Trip Date: 08/01/2020 Trip Report:
Here is my report with photos for the mighty Johannesburg: Spokalpine
Amazingly, we shared the face with Karsten and Matt (Karsten posted a trip report on CC right after their climb) but used different starts. As a result, we never even saw each other on this giant, complicated route. We started an hour earlier than Karsten and Matt, but they reached the bivy hours before us(!) and continued up and over the summit. Karsten and Matt used the traditional 1951 start while John and I took a lower start, far right of the waterfalls.
