Western Breach Route
is an alternative final ascend route which can be taken
from all of the western routes, sleeping at magnificent
Arrow Glacier on your summit night. The western Breach
poses a very difficult walk up steep scree with some rock
scrambling occasionally required. Snow cover makes scree
easier but an ice axe is then required. |
