My guests and I climbed the N Bowl of Andromeda on Friday 19 Jul. The access to
the glacier is easier than it looks. We climbed up near the centre on a low
angle fin. The crevasses in the centre are open and we had to pass on the right
nearest the NW Shoulder. The recent snowfall of last week had slid off the face
filling the bergschund. Three pitches of snow and 5 pitches of ice gained the
summit ridge.
We descended the E Ridge to the AA Col. The gully down is snow free. The AA Col
is ice. Three 60m rappels put us on the glacier past the double bergschund.
