obwan Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 actually the crampons will be great for climbing up the choss pile. I think after five pages, I have just come up with the answer of "why alpine starts". And it was your words - "choss pile": which is what The Mountain actually is -- a pile of loose rock and frozen snow. Therefore, if the rock fall later in the afternoon doesn't get you - then it will be the long slippery ride down (caused by clogged crampons). Stopping in a nearby glacier may not be as bad as the incredible acceleration one can achieve in a solo descent. sobo - I'm suprised that you don't know "Jack"!
