Hiking up steep slopes - the reason why chairlifts were invented!! 
Wow! Looks like a mega-hike. Scarily steep - bet the views down were amazing and the thought of knowing it was a fresh line was awesome I bet?

Not bad, mostly stiff enough snow not to be swimming.

There was 1125m of ascent. 500m was skinning, then 625m was boot packing. It was a 3.5 hour round trip.

philingle, I found that my old Grivel 2F grampons fit great onto a ski boot. I need to get my skills up and start skiing some decent terrain. Very inspiring photos.... a beautiful day out.

So do my Grivel G12's which were at the bottom of the sac. I did regret not getting them out once I was half way up this rocky bit, but by then it was too late.
