Led first 2 ice pitches. Partner finished off the snow top out. Steep and sustained, much harder than SC gully. Amazing climbing though.
Cat Hendrie - Lead O/S - 06/Apr/13

Fat ice. Alex's first pure ice lead.
Hardonicus - 2nd rpt - 31/Mar/13 with Alex Thompson

Fat ice, nicely chopped up holds. H led the topout. Busy & popular route, but fun way to end trip.

scatface - AltLd O/S - 29/Mar/13 with connor, pepette

fantastic conditions the second pitch was steeper than expected! Thought it was a better pitch than anything on point five yesterday. Most of the buttress routes are looking thin or non existant.

Ran out of screws and as a result ran the crux pitch out to a huge level. Superb climb. Solid III and definitely 3*. Topped out to breathtaking sunset views over the Ben. The trade off was the long walk off having missed the gondola.

Ab down easy gully, cornice was stable. Led first pitch, pretty steep for first climb of the season. Did pitches 2 and 3 together (60m rope). Neale did the last pitch to the top, no cornice to worry about. Ice was generally good, got lots of screws in.

The Novice thought it to be grade IV due to lean conditions and brittle water ice all the way up. Enjoyed it. First proper lead on ice where I felt in control.

Steep for III, but quality ice climbing. The 5th day of perfect winter climbing on the trot :)
markfairbank - Lead O/S - 10/Mar/10 with Paul Sheehan, Dave Brown

Comedy of errors at the start with forgotten ropes & harness but all ended OK following a return trip to the car park & a bit of a lash up with some slings! Route in great shape with loads of ice.
Mountain Llama - 2nd - 10/Mar/10 with Mark & Paul

This was a joy to climb after I backed off Typhoon due to poor ice. A little snowy at the upper half.

With Maddy. Steep and fairly sustained. High wind and poor snow conditions generally. However, route quitee clean and plenty of ice.
Si Carter - AltLd O/S - 24/Feb/10

First winter route, awesome.
ben__day - 2nd O/S - 25/Jan/10 with Martyn Frost

Patrick led the two main pitches. Ice and snow conditions made the route hard and very scary. Screws would never have held a fall and there was a section of vertical rimed up ice at the top of the main gulley - very serious and quite challenging. Route was easily in Grade IV condition, and serious for that.

Pitches fairly short. Good ice gully. Pitch 1 - belayed on existing tat and nut, pitch 3 belayed off good spike just over top of main gully. The final pitch was just a snow field to the cornice at the top, where we found a gap. Access: Down climbed from top (down an easy gully) and traversed to get to base of route. Used cable car and chair lift to get as high as possible to avoid slog.
