Ascent Notes for: East Ridge - 5.3 Average Rating : 4.80/5

This peak was clear for 6 weeks, and we caught the second day it snowed, or more blizzared... better luck next time

very nice route

still covered in snow when we did it and were forced to rope the whole ridge

i found it easier than expected
i would consider doing it solo under good conditions.

11.25 hours car to car w ridge descent

weather came in right after we got to car. Great Day!!!

Bluebird skies fo rthe first half, blizard for the second half. More or less full winter conditions in the middle of summer. Great climb... just wish I could have seen the view form the top.

12 hrs after getting off the plane.....CLASSIC ROUTE!!!!! 7 hrs to summit (maybe quicker if I'd acclimatized)

Expect 10-12 hours car-to-car if you are fast and don't rope up. 13-16 hours if you rope up for top pitch and then short-rope to summit.

Climbed slowly w/ party above 1st buttress. Solo ascent of the upper buttress. Incredible route. Highly recommended, especially in such dry conditions.

We climbed in slightly over cast weather with about 10 cm of snow on the route which made for some very cold hands. It is a easy route with a long desent if you go by the west ridge but I have also met a man who lost all 4 fingers on his right hand, do not underestamite the route but have fun
