Greetings, I guided Carlsberg Column & then linked up Pilsner Pillar's first pitch with a guest today. The route has a mushroomed groove on the left that provides great climbing and foothods. It was a bit wet but totally climbable. The 20 meter or so pitch that sometimes forms above and right of the main flow is well worth doing right now (cord around tree for rap). Breaking up the first flow by stopping at the mid-ledge bolts then provides three good pitches. *60 meter double ropes do not reach the ground from the bolt anchor at the base of the main Carlsberg Pitch. I threaded a little pillar just above the approach ice for the last rap - 70's should make it. _______________________________________________ These observations and opinions are those of the person who submitted them.
