A couple of American friends are talking of trying The Shroud later this week. Anyone know if it's touching down and worth a go?

Hi Andy,
Its fatter today than it was three days ago so its going in the right direction. The main pillar has definitely grown in the past day or so.

Looks fine at the moment. The concern is the hanging coire above.

PS. Timely post - it was first climbed 21 years ago today.
