Yet another steep contracted chimney, a little rock-step, then another chimney, and we are at last on the “Vorgipfel” to the north of the highest peak. From the “Vorgipfel” we descend for a few yards on to the saddle—at the top of a steep couloir which falls to the east — and we easily reach the summit at 2.10. We make a rapid descent by the ordinary way, driven by the rough wind, and the snow which all the way down from the first
