Barron Saddle – Mt Brewster: New Climbs

September, 2011

White Strike, North-West Face, Dasler Pinnacles

Filed under: Hopkins Valley — joppo @ 8:35 pm

Grade WI3, M4, five pitches.


The route is to the right of Petit Peuterey and ascends the striking line on the southern (lower right) tier of the face, with sparse but adequate protection (all rock gear).  The first ascentionists found thin ice and much of the rock rotten or blank, hence the lack of protection.  The best descent is to abseil the route.
