Re: great looking mountain

Don't know, she is not listed in the local alpine guide book, Selected Alpine Climbs. It falls short of the key 11,000' mark as well. There is a scramble route up it for sure I have read somewhere and of course I assume a decent alpine route as well, but have not read one. Just too many mountains I guess (if there can be such a thing) Cheers.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."" --Rene Daumal
