description
The plum line on Andromeda, this was attempted many times before finally seeing an ascent by some of the best climbers of their generation in the Rockies.
This route takes the obvious gash up the northeast face of Andromeda. Several variations are present, all culminating in a picturesque traverse to the final ice bulge and gully (shown on the cover of Selected Alpine Climbs in the Canadian Rockies).
