Should have had a helmet
Approximate date. I climbed this with Louis Reichardt during three weeks that we spent climbing in the French Alps near Chamonix. I made the mistake of not having a helmet and was hit hard by ice falling from climbers above us.
Climbed it in pour conditions...nevertheless an excellent climb.
We ended up doing the Buscanini Route with exit to the summit slopes to the left side...

Perfect Winter Ascent
The north face was in perfect condition, but boy was it coooold! -25 degrees C that morning on the face.

Bad snow conditions
after snow the route can be avalanche prone and the first pitches unprotectable.

Good Ice Route Jul/01A fantastic N Face route. Our calves were burning and really happy the last pitch to the summit was on rock!
