Fedele route was really good. We were pretty slow due to some route finding difficulties near the top, so we skipped the section after the scree band in the middle (the top 7 or 8 pitches of the dibona), so had to do the massive screen traverse all the way around. Was pretty scary in places I've gotta say, the whole thing feels like it's about to slide off into the void.

In retrospect, we would have simulclimbed a lot of it. There's a fair bit of scrambling, but there are a number of really good more technical pitches. All of the IV and IV+ pitches were very good. Route finding near the waterfall at the top was difficult (I got lost wandering around for hours climbing up and down following random pitons and ending up in yellow choss with a single peg covered in tat. Did a lot of downclimbing). The way to go is actually pretty obvious once you work it out.

Bloody good effort by Fedele back in 1908 or whenever it was.
