Thanks, will do.
Have been testing myself at 450 to 500m metres an hour over the last couple of weeks and that has gone well. If I can find 300 to 350m at that altitude everything should be golden.
The freezing level has been over 4000m a fair bit here lately. Early and swift is always going to be a good thing.

I'm having a crack at the Wildspitze normal route with a friend at dawn on Tuesday.
I'm confident in my glacier travel safety and ability to manage the pretty straightforward climbing sections but I've never done anything of this scale. 1,900m of up is a few hundred more than I've tried at 3000m+ before.
Wish me luck!
Let's see how much my legs hate me on Tuesday night!
