With its peak at 6088m above sea level, summiting this baby in cold, snowy conditions proved more than we bargained for. Ice climbing some small glaciers on day 1 was an awesome but exerting experience. Waking up at midnight for the final 5.5 hour ascent on day 3 was a real eye opener. Jumping over about 15 crevaces upto 4 ft wide and snaking thru many skinny icy, rocky trails, we were very grateful for our freindly and experienced guide, Theo, for getting us up and down unscathed.
