Easy access from the Covercle Hut put this climb on our to do list. Though not that long, it was a good route for Michael and I to get accustomed to each others style. Crux 5.9 comes right away and we passed a much slower group immediately. No real beta on the descent, but the south face was the obvious way off the mountain. Back to the hut for a 2nd night and then out the next morning.
