A route with a great history. Moderate technically, but a sizeable adventure nonetheless. Conditions can affect the difficulty radically, and the Valhalla traverse on the approach may well be the crux of the trip. Crampons and an ice axe are mandatory for the approach! Descent is via the standard (Owens/Spalding) route on the south side, so you will do half of a circumnavigation of the mountain if starting from the Lower Saddle. |
