MT. COLLON (Page 84)
S. face of N.W. arête. Mr. Grant and myself
failed to find the ordinary descent of this ridge, and
cut straight down from the first gendarme (before
the ridge becomes rotten) by a chimney and diffi-
cult slabs below it, keeping to the left directly down
the face. I understood Pierre Maitre to say that he
had on one occasion adopted a similar route. The
descent took just over 2 hours snow to snow.
E. ALEISTER CROWLEY.
