9 5 | ★★ South Arete - with Christian Bihlmaier | 170m | ★★★ Classic | |||
This was one heluva climb. Atmospheric and wild. It took quite a bushbash to find the route (you can no longer drive to described parking, so we parked directly SW). The arete is more SE than S. It took an hour to walk directly in (we located the base of the climb the day before), started at sunrise (530) and were back at the car ~2-3pm (with some stops along the way). The climb is harder than a grade 5, I'd suggest 8-10. It's not hard but there were a few small spicey moves (a mini roof, a ledge that you traverse out and around a boulder) - unless I went offroute?! But the most intimidating is the descent. There was some sketchy downclimbs and we used the dodgy rope still hanging in the south gully, and finally slung a tree for the last 30m. Overall, the climb is classic but take care on descent.
