Fat blue ice on the steep bits, powder over ice on the easy bits. Crux pitch fantastic, quite sustained with an ice umbrella at the top - awesome!

Webster - Solo O/S - 21/Dec/12

Just enough ice, good belays but no good screw runners, 3 pitches middle one on snow, nice route, very easy for a grade 3.

Good climb in awesome condition, nice ice pitches throughout with consolidated snow gullies in-between. At the top took the right branch then cut back left for the final ice pitch.
jon59 - AltLd O/S - 04/Jan/11

Enjoyed this one. Took the right hand option, the steep & spicy step, then went back left to take in the fun ice fall at the top of the left branch.

Did left branch due to avalanche risk on slope above right. Lots of spindrift.
