UKH Hills - 'Biancograt (Norh Ridge)'

600m. A striking line and one of the most famous and coverted snow aretes in the alps. Good crampon technique is needed to move quickly and safely.

P Gussfeldt with H Grass & J Gross 12/Aug/1878.

Pero	28 Jul, 2019	Show βeta βeta: All the difficulties were on the rock sections. There was a bottleneck at the first rock step and rocks being kicked down. Luckily we kept clear. The snow section was slightly icy but really quite easy. The final section to the summit was quite time consuming with another bottleneck. A good climb, but over-estimated IMO.	βeta?
