MapCrawl Along the Watchtower
Description
Location
The route starts across the Teepe Glacier from the JHMG camp and hut. Look for the bolted anchor in a dihedral on the West side of the South ridge toe. See above for descent. I suspect you can do better than we did.
Protection
The only bolts are at the top of the first pitch. (We did not place these.) There was no other fixed gear. We brought a single set of nuts, and single set of cams to #3 BD. I recommend several double and/or triple length runners for reducing rope drag. We wore rock shoes on the climb. You will be walking on snow (i.e. Teepe Glacier) to and from your camp, so plan footwear with this in mind.
