4 out of 5 stars Chopped or Removed Anchors

Great route, only problem was that some of the anchors were chopped or removed. Be sure to bring some cams or nuts for making anchors!!! If you intend to protect the pitches, be sure to bring even more!!!

As for crowding, I think spring is the time to do it, there was no one else on the route (or the mountain for that matter). Weather was fantastic. The only issue was that the residual snow on the approach and descent made it necessary to bring crampons, boots, and axes in the packs.

Took our party of three about three hours to climb the route.
