We climbed a line to the left of the main V corner as that was a bit too thin. Snow was in excellent condition, turf was well frozen and there was a bit of ice around. Quality day out under bluebird skies!

different line this time - up & left to the obvious ice fall and short mixed step. Great day out with blue skies and sunshine

Not in brilliant nick but unusual to get a winter route done in November. The pitch lengths both in the guide and here seem way out: with a 60m rope the first two pitches had 5m left; the V-corner had a metre left and the last pitch was 75 metres! Hope the woman who got rescued from below Viking Buttress is OK, a broken leg apparently - http://www.mountainrescue.org.uk/news/2010_077.

Initial fat ice pitch was quite tricky and very good, inadvertently led the crux as V-corner far too easy. Still, enjoyed route after finally found. It is clear that a lot of people are very confused about where this route is. I think the guidebook's 70m and the 60m here are confusing. It's about 30-40m left of gully 2.

Clearly, by reading the other user comments, we have gone wrong somwhere. The last corner pitch, although well used had very little ice, wasn't banked up and had bugger all gear after the first 2m. This felt like hard IV/V (not that i've done many!) but was way way harder than any other III i've done. Start 20m left of No. 2 Gully.1st pitch, ice ledges to a ledge under an ice column, 15m. 2 pitch, go up easy snow groove to large stance below a wall, 50m. 3rd pitch, traverse right under wall then up easy groove to below steep corner (crux) with sloping ledge on LH halfway up, stance above, 30m. 4th pitch, easy snow slope to finish. Does this sound like anything anyone else has done?

I led first 2 guidebook pitches in one. Nice steep ice leading to the first ledge, the next corner was fun too. The V Corner pitch was banked out with big bucket steps, so we moved on to the Extension instead for added interest.
Toreador - AltLd O/S - 12/Jan/08 with Carmen and Will

Greatly improved conditions from the last time I did it. More ice and plenty more snow meant it was banked out and most of the hard moves were covered over.

Led pitches 1 and 3. Pitch 1 was all on ice giving some nice moves. Pitch 2 had a couple of harder mixed moves up a lean corner. 3rd and 4th pitches were really just snow plodding with variable quality of snow. Overall a great route and nice to get something done in the lakes in early december.
