You must be an avid Winter Alpine climber to even look at these climbs; however, if you are, they are unbeatable climbs.
Plan on a minimum of three days with at least one night, and possibly two, on the Mountain.
These climbs are difficult and aesthetic Alpine routes that can be enjoyed as personal challenges that may be the most difficult climbs you would ever be able to do OR they can be considered the "Next Step" in your training program if your goals are climbs like the North Face of the Grand Teton in Wyoming. As Philosophers have taught us: "Beyond each Mountain is another Mountain".
