excellent conditions with dry rock and firm snow.
Used a helicopter to get to the start of the route at the Ravelin/Sir
Sandford col, which made the approach much more enjoyable. The descent went
smoothly across the Sir Sandford glacier and below the S Face of Palisade,
approximately following the description in the Selkirks North guidebook by
David P. Jones.
12 hours from the Ravelin Col to the summit and back to the Great Cairn Hut.
