Really pleased to get the o/s.. utterly brilliant and a memorable climbing experience despite being above the snow and pads! Exciting top out though, avoiding the wet parts in fading light :)

Snowball to break, platform low enough to do all the hard climbing. Really nice.

Snowball ascent - downclimbed Goliaths Groove which was sopping wet.. Had to have a word with myself after that!

Never thought I'd do this, not particularly valid as proper snow platform. Good though.

fantastic. Making the most of the generous snowdrift, pads, team psyche and perfect friction. Felt fine but so stoked to do it after a number of onsight retreats years ago.
