The Walker Spur is one of the most elegant looking lines in the Western Alps. It is predominantly a rock route to the summit of a 4000m peak with a glacial approach, some mixed parts and an alpine descent. It has always been a dream of mine and these are the routes I have been doing building up to having a go at it, one day.........
