22.9km with 1,425m gain in 9:15hrs return. A bit fresh in the morning (-20'C) but very sunny and warm after. The highest temperature on a digital thermometer under the sun - +21'C!
Despite shorter gain than on Cathedral last Sunday, this one is definitely is more difficult due to by-passing a creek and bootpacking an avi slope, narrow canyon with some up's and down's, and - as a cherry on top - finding your line on a small glacier (with potential drop if choosing the wrong one).
Superb views though.
