Nice work getting up and down safely, great write-up.

Her first volcano climb? That's RAD!!! I guess she's now either completely hooked (most likely I bet) or swearing it off for awhile? It sounds like you two had a full alpine adventure, complete with the sustained winds and whiteout. That ice tool transfer system is a good tip/strategy...but leading/simuling 10m of blue ice with just one tool (the last section), hmm.. 🤔

This route has been on my list for many years. It seems a little too spicy for my solo risk tolerance.... so if someone (experienced) reading this is interested in it for later in the season (this or next or next-next year), send me a message!
