Northwest summit of Waddington- rap or downclimb?

[pete_a]

Leaving for Wadd ski trip next friday...just going through the gear pile trying to decide if theres a need to throw in extra screws or picket for a rap anchor.

 

The last little steep pitch up to the NW summit doesn't look too long, but I'm curious what others have done in the past to get back down...rap? downclimb? will two 30m glacier ropes be frustratingly short to get up and down that last bit to the top?

thanks.

With crampons and an axe you should have no problemo.

you're going in april - there won't be ice for screws (not that there ever is up there). marko's got it right: crampons and an axe, and you're fine. i doubt anyone has EVER rapped those slopes...

but they HAVE been skied a few times.

cheers,
