BillH1 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I came across this route in the Beckey guide and it looks interesting. Anyone have experience with or info about it? What is good time of year to do it? Thanks. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Here's a link to a thread on this board about the route and the 1991 accident. It happened up where you descend from the arete onto the glacier (rappel I think), and serac fall from higher up buried Gary Gray in the moat while his partner Kurt, who I think scrambled higher up on the arete, was injured. You won't want to tarry at that location, but the rock portion sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
