Road in excellent condition and hike up was easy and quick with approx 20cm of snow. Note: Thin ice, yet easy enough to slither your way up to the top. Lots of options to choose from however some more intelligent than others due to thin and wet conditions. Might want to stop short of the top (approx the last 12m) due to thinning ice. Had to excavate lots to find screws and V threads. All in all the wall is climbable - not fat conditions but certainly climbable.
