Volcanic?[edit]

Is Mount Asgard volcanic? It makes me think of a volcanic plug, since the mountain itself is two rocky towers.

Nope, it's granite. -- Spireguy 22:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think volcanic plugs have to be made of volcanic rock. For example, Ailsa Craig consists entirely of a volcanic plug and is made of granite. Black Tusk 12:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought granites were plutonic rocks and not volcanic. 143.232.210.38 (talk) 22:33, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First Climb[edit]

In the team which climbed Mount Asgard first, Fritz Hans Schwarzenbach was also part of the team. In the picture on the summit of the first climb, all 4 swiss members of the expedition can be seen. I also read part of the published diary which clearly shows that he did take part of the climb. Is there a reason why he is not mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.57.187.117 (talk) 20:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Easiest Route[edit]

The info box states that the easiest route is a grade IV climb, while the article itself states that the most-traveled route is a grade VI climb. Is this a typo? 24.86.199.22 (talk) 21:29, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The easiest route is possibly a IV. But I seriously doubt that the VI is A1. A1 is pretty easy aid, and I doubt that that was pretty easy aid. An old friend did an FA of one of the other routes, and they didn't have much A1 (at least A3 and possibly A4). I do recall him saying that it took a lot of rapping to get down (like a days worth). It's written up in the AAJ and other rags of the time. 143.232.210.38 (talk) 22:31, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
