Patrick from Canada
Got about 1500ft up the Directissema route in Dec 13 and had to back off due to wet snow/mushy ice conditions. Screws were almost useless and rock pro hard to find/non existent on the steeper pitches. Need some consecutive days of cold to firm the face up for safer travel and more so solid belays.
