Mt Aspiring difficulty question 9-May-2012 At 1:21:58 PM llewg

Hi all,

Wasn't sure if this should be in Beta or General. I'm thinking of heading over to NZ at the end of the year to have a shot at mt Aspiring. A buddy of mine is really keen to come, and while he's very experienced on rock he has never seen snow, let alone climbed in it.

I'd thought that as a possibility we could head into the Aspiring range, hit up a few days learning/teaching on some lower stuff, then head up via the Ramp. While i'm confident in my own skills, I guess i'm unsure if this is going to be tough for him, never having climbed Aspiring before. And I guess my own leadership, never having led anyone upa mt before.

If anyones got any info on technical difficulty, especially as a begginer that would be awesome.
