Time schedule for the climb of Piteraq
For the climb we used 21 days. 10 days for climbing and fixing ropes. 8 days in the wall to finish the climb. The whole climb from Base Camp to Base Camp took 26 days. The reason for chooseing this heavy expedition style was that we expected bad weather with much rain, as many parties have reported the previus summers. The other reason was that our 4th climber would have to join us 2 weeks into the expedition.
