It was a hot day. I started up solo. I heard voices on the way up, but could not see them for some time. Finally once above tree line I was able to spot the other party. I continued on to the summit and was relieved that the voices were not in my head and it turned out to be Sonny Bou and his party (Sosia, Andrea and Peter). I joined them and we went over to Jagermeister Peak. This was a sustained difficult scramble. The rock was typical, of fair quality at best. We thought it might be better not to retrace our steps, but the descent we used might persuade me to perhaps retrace our steps. It was a really hot day and that didn't help much.
