Grundschadner north arête: a tedious descent without old snow
A great route moving together. The descent is much nicer with snow — we had none.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
Great route, almost all of it moving together. At that difficulty it’s the right way to travel, and the arête allows for it.
The descent is very tedious without old snow, though — and in early August there was none left. With snow you slide down a scree field in minutes; without it you pick your way down the same field over loose blocks and it takes an hour.
That’s the difference between this route in June and the same route in August.
