Rad Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Rack? Poons or not? Decent? Water? Assuming you mean the N face route... Yes, yes, easy walk-off, plentiful on the approach and descent. See thread: Vesper N face thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scot'teryx Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Pons and ice axe are good if you plan on doing the entire route. Leave them behind if you want to just do the high traverse to the main route. We only brought crampons we went and had to go back up and do the traverse since an axe was needed to get down off the glacier/moat. Small cams and nuts are good, but we only had a few nuts and hexes, but pro is not all over the place. Fun as shit route. Can't wait till I can go back and do the full route 3 Hexes & a Nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) Don't skip the lower buttress. There are some fun moves and great exposure. Edited August 8, 2006 by Rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
