Yesterday I solo scrambled the East ridge of Alpha for the first time. It apparently goes at 5.8, but the crux section is super short, only about 20 feet or so... and the rest is a nice 4-5th class scramble. From this photo you can see the summits of Niobe and Omega about 1000 feet below (where Marco was climbing). Car to car, including the cable crossing it took us about 9 or so hours.
I passed a team about half way up the ridge who decided to bail due to lack of time, and were surprised to see me arrive so late in the day to do a casual scramble. I explained that going solo is much faster in situations such as this.
Heres a nice photo of the integral ridge of Alpha. For whom it may concern, there is a complete marked trail through the dense forested approach up to the ridge, but the carins are hard to spot, and the decent is flagged with yellow and pink tape, but keep an eye out.
I love seeing this types of the hilly areas and the waters area. This is very nice to have a look at this, the tourist should try to visit this kind of place in order to get relax. Shimla is also the best place which i most suited for the tourist to visit during the days of the vacation. This place is much more romantic than the any other place.
