With no one else in sight for most of the day, we climbed up a steep snow field to gain the ridge. Scrambling over large rocks and boulders littering the ridge, we arrived at the foot of a vertical rocky arete and commenced climbing until we reached the summit.
I have few words to add, the pictures below tell the story. This was very possibly the finest day for a scramble in the Olympics ever conceived.
The pictures below show the ridge, the arete, and several scenic views from the summit.
