βeta: The first half was magnificent climbing. I then had problems with a crampon, and while trying to sort them out while attached to a single ice screw we were narrowly missed by an ice avalanche from a falling serac. We abseiled back down on Abalakovs as the sun was starting to hit the summit seracs, and got back to the glacier just before the second avalanche. A sobering experience and a big disappointment; we should have started 2 hours earlier. | βeta? | |
