Travel on the lower glacier was straightforward, altough it looks daunting in the pictures. From the glacier's edge we aimed left around the 1st ice dome, that shows some big crevasses. The center line then allowed us to gain height with minimal fuss, all on dry ice, until crevasses pushed us along the left rock rib where they pinch down to 1 step bridges. Some snow allowed us to gain the upper glacier bench, straightforward from there to summit.
The day was cold and windy.
