Heading up to the Ben this weekend; anyone know what conditions are like on indicator wall area are like at the moment?
Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom,
From being up on the Ben over the last few days I would guess that the wall itself is in good nick, lots of people up Tower ridge so they might have got a better view. Have however been on the approaches to point 5 and zero gully and although we felt happy crossing them I am not sure it would be the same up higher, especially the indicator approach. We saw people on Smiths route so they will have more idea of snow conditions higher up.
Hope that helps.
Rob

In reply to Tom Cox: There are so many other routes in, I'd be looking at some of them instead; 0, .5, Hadrian's, Vanishing, Gemini, Boomer's Requiem and pos. the Shroud.
I'd leave Indicator for late season when the lower routes aren't in and the approach slopes are easier and safer.

Thanks for the info I'll bear that in mind
