409 Dhaulaigir Icefall Close Up Early Morning From Lete ’The East glacier's a great torrent of ice.’ Rébuffat explained. ‘Even supposing we did succeed in getting up the glacier,’ continued Lachenal, ‘I don't quite see how we should get on to the north ridge. My own view is that we shouldn't try. It's a regular Walker (The north buttress of the Pointe Walker on the Grandes Jorasses is perhaps the most difficult climb in the Alps) with seracs stuck on!’  ... These mountains are unclimbable! No expedition could ever get through this way [Dhaulagiri Icefall]’“ (Maurice Herzog, Annapurna). Here is a close up view of the Dhaulagiri East Glacier from Lete.
