Donald unless you're on a multi day alpine ice route, the weather doesn't that fast to turn an otherwise good route into a river
I do not belive that is true. What about the Eiger? I know that these days people can do it in a few hours. But suppose you were off to do it in a few days? Arn't there accounts of these kind of things happening there?
