Difficulties for Island Peak

Island Peak is a glacier high mountain route. Real mountaineering skills and very good physical condition are essential. The summit ridge of Island Peak resembles the ridge of bumps at Mont Blanc.

It is necessary to be able to cling to the ascent and descent in slopes of about 45 ° about 200 m high. The summit ridge is fine, although equipped with fixed ropes you have to be comfortable on this type of terrain.
