Some informationCan you say us the angle of climb? Did you need ice screws for climbing that slope? Thanks.

Re: Some informationHi Diego,
the average angle of this specific north face route we did (Chabod/Grivel) is according to the guide book
a) in the first part: 50 degrees
b.) in the middle section: 45 degrees and
c) in the upper part: 55 degrees.
We had a short overhanging and vertical part of about 30 to 45 feet high where we had to cross a big crevasse a the key section of the ice climb.
If you take my picture as a reference it would lead to a wrong conclusion; it is a bit steeper than one would expect.
However, we had excellent conditions and didn´t use neither ice srews nor any other belay - it was just not necessary.
Regards,
Bernhard
