Description

Tom and I rev`d at 0330hrs, got going at 0430hrs, cold river crossing in the dark at 0445hrs and reach Camp 5400m bang on 0530hrs having enjoyed moving up the steep re-entrant in the grey of dawn.
First prob of the day: Kirsty had a bad night and needs to go down. An hour later TF was headed back down with her.
Good progress thereafter to the snout. Got two ropes of 4 and lead up the right side and then up a shoulder to a col. From the col we headed up the fringe of ice/rock to the summit. Whoop whoop!
Spent about 30min on the summit. Recced beyond - the traverse would have gone but quicker to turn about. Went down the rock line to the col and then had a good 45min descent back down the glacier.
Morale super high.
