In reply to Stanners: Having done this a few winters ago, I was thinking about what else I could do if the snow sticks around for a bit - I thought Eden Crack might make an interesting outing...

In reply to portlandbill: Not been up there but I live a couple of miles away. Quite a heavy melt yesterday afternoon but another 1-2cm snow this morning. Heavy snow likely overnight so tomorrow may be do-able.

In reply to Stanners: awesome! Have been thinking about doing this, you beat me to it is there any other possible winter lines there? All joking aside that is...ahem...
