Re: good one!This face sure does. And if I remember correctly, I think we had one or two ice screws left between us, so, even if we could get over the bergshrund below it, there's no way we could have climbed the face!
My guide actually warned me much earlier on the climb that the summit pyramid might prove impossible. I'm an optimist, so I kept thinking, we'll find a way. Coming from the south, the most obvious south ridge (on the right in this photo) was protected by a bergshrund - which then continued along west face as this photo shows. We looked for a suitable place to cross it, and ended up here, and decided to go up the northwest ridge (on the left in this photo).
