A little off route
jac00 - AltLd - 23/Feb/13 with Tom
Bit short of cover but turf generally solid. Could do with a good freeze though.
Slab Variation almost bear and ice in corner too loose.

did a slightly different variant up the central buttress missing out Riley's Window and the ice pitches and taking in frozen turf, neve and rock tot the summit about grade II mainly with a top pitch of II/III up steep turf to the top of the ridge.

Turf frozen, took a couple of harder short steps at grade IV
gripped01 - AltLd - 09/Dec/12 with Dave Tait
Meant to do Left branch, but route finding issues due to poor topo; following foot steps I found myself up a short iced crack at moved around IV!?
Mix of powder snow and some nicely consolidated snow, patches of ice about. It started drizzling as we finished the day. It would benefit from a little more snow and a freeze/thaw.

Route finding mare! Did 3 decent pitches of 2 or 3 then found ourselves back in Central Gully! Ticking it anyway so I don't find myself trying it again in years to come.

Good route although a bit lacking in line. Definately a lot longer than the guide book would suggest. We went through well over 200 meters of rope and the guide book says 100 meters. Pretty low on gear.
Conditions quite good, turf frozen quite a bit of ice and snow useable for feet.

3 long pitches, not much protection but fairly easy going.

Did a little variation right at the start to do a small ice pitch, then went back on course. Route was quite hard to follow from the guidbook description. We found the window, but was unclear from then on - seemed to get hard for the grade shortly after so mebbe we went a bit astray. (Specially since we went left and I see the route description says "rightwards traverse then continue easily to the top ;-D. Anyway, we got up. Ice was very brittle yesterday, top few inches of snow so powdery it was like dust but decent neve underneath

Route is vague in places but we roughly followed the described line. The window proved a good photo opportunity.
Good Gr III pitches and I guess one could climb almost anywhere on the buttress at the grade. Excellent conditions and a good fun day out.
Ghastly Rubberfeet - AltLd - 18/Feb/10 with Stuart Halford
Route vague in places but roughly followed the described line with variations for added interest.

ollyroberts - Solo - 17/Feb/10 with Kyle
A wandering route and illogical line too vague to warrant stars. Some tasty mixed moves were found, as was the famous 'Riley's Window'. Came too high left for the right arete at end, so ventured left of final buttress and found a superb and very technical V Groove. I suspect every piece of rock, ice and variation on this buttress to have been climbed before.

just took a line of weakness upwards. dont think it was the exact route in the guidbook. nice adventure though!
