Excellent conditions and a very sociable day on the route. Last few rope lengths go on a bit though!
MrRiley - AltLd O/S - 06/Apr/13 with Dave Marshall, Debbie Lee

Awesome. Very long and we were a bit slow. 14 hours car to car!

A good climb with some intresting ice steps. The walk in was not so good! Windy and hard work breaking trail. Found Andy Nisbet's lost axe
petegunn - Solo - 21/Mar/13 with Davina

Simul climbed mostly. 2 belays. Bloody long and good! Lots of fresh snow and good ice. Dropped my goggles though. Biking back out was a treat!
peter.herd - AltLd - 17/Mar/13 with Steven A

Always a great climb. The entry ice pitch was pretty steep this time and there was some slab dodging higher up but lovely ice pitches.
Steven Andrews - AltLd O/S - 17/Mar/13 with Pete

Took direct start up icefall. Great route but lost 2 BD ice screws due to caritool gate popping open, near the top. Think they probably ended up part way down the gully. If anyone finds them I'd very much appreciate their return.

Another amazing day in the NW. Warm sunshine, all 3 coasts in sight and climbed after a mega lie-in. Luxury.

Hard day in the office! Led the whole route, and took in an additional second icefall, which added a bit more interest to an already great route.

Climbed with Andy Bailey. In good condition. 8 pitches, 6 pitches with technical sections, excellent blue ice on 5th pitch. Soft snow for 2 pitches, exited up ice RHS to avoid snow plod.
