Rock quality on all 4 of the Tory stacks is perfect, solid granite. The slab & Arete to right on above stack await your attention!

That should, of course be the arete to the left of the slab, the one to the right is the route described.

Are there any routes up the main slab in the photo above. What is the rock quality like? It looks interesting!
