Ah, sorry. The way you wrote it it sounded like you were just setting off from the CIC hut.

Like Jim says, no old snow on the Ridge. Douglas Boulder adds a deal of climbing and time to the route and is pretty damp at present (or was this week) even even when the Ridge itself is dry. Pics from monday
