UKC Logbook - 'Route Major'

Some annoying fresh powder to clear but some useful ice in the grooves that made it a little less nerve-wracking.

Matthew Robinson - AltLd - 05/Mar/13 with Kevin

Fantastic route although weather was a bit damp and mild with things melting as the day went on. First day of a great weekend being guided by Kevin.

steev - AltLd O/S - 28/Jan/12 with Andy Buckley

Brilliant route: the initial chimney and the overhang/groove pitch of The Battlements were particularly good, but even the easy ground was interesting.

P1 and P4 was mine, Pat lead P2,3,5. An awesome day out and a really worth while route, would of been even better if conditions had been favourable. 1st crux is amazing climbing and the other crux pitches are slightly easier but still interesting and varied. Happy Days
