One of the best Scottish routes I have ever done; very technical and there is no easy move - even the supposedly easiest last pitch is I estimate III on its own. Superb!

Just about in nick. Was really starting to hore up more and more throughout the day. Wind made it a little more exciting.
Rick Ashton - AltLd - 21/Jan/12 with Lee Harrison

Full-on blizzard conditions with snow being blown vertically up all the routes from the coire. Possibly the toughest conditions I've endured on a Scottish route. Opted to ab down from the top the route given the likely treacherous plateau winds but this in itself was tough as the rope got blown all over the place and kept knotting as a result. Thoroughly enjoyable day despite conditions and a classic route.

I lead the second pitch up the bottom half of the slit to the chock stone. We ended up backing off due to the quantity of ice covering all the cracks and preventing us from finding good gear.
