Background
History
Tower Ridge was first climbed in descent by John Hopkinson with his son Bertram and brothers Edward and Charles on 3 September 1892. They had ascended it as far as the Great Tower the previous day (without Charles). The first ascent and first winter ascent was Norman Collie, Godfrey Solly and J.Collier on 29 March 1894. They turned the Great Tower on the right by the Western Traverse, which is harder than the Eastern Traverse; the route normally used today.
