Tim did the two main ice pitches. Both felt really hard. After second crux, the route seemed to go on and on in the dark

Scotsken - Mar/11

Top pitch stripped by recent thaw, couldn't find guide book suggested exit into south castle gully so ab'd back down route.
joeydurkin - AltLd - 27/Feb/11 with Patch

the most adventuros and scary solo climb , the traverse and the top were covered of powdery snow just good for avalanches ...... it is an amazing chili climb
Diego puerto - Solo O/S - 22/Feb/11

Very steep ice pitch 5. Great route
Lee Sheard - AltLd O/S - 12/Feb/11 with Laurie Monkton

Two excellent pitches on steep ice!!
rob1 - AltLd O/S - 11/Feb/11

A couple of quality ice pitches. The top pitch was as steep as anything I've climbed on the Ben.
Big Lee - AltLd O/S - 11/Feb/11 with Rob Gray

Fantastic lower ice pitch. Top pitch was not fully formed so finished up South Castle Gully.
Jim Slater - 2nd O/S - 01/Jan/11 with Grahame Clark, Phil Lee

Nice to see some people actually have led the top pitch before claiming it. A lot of people have OS's despite abseilling off before the crux pitch.

andyinglis - AltLd O/S - 25/Jan/10 with scotty burnett

luckyjim - AltLd - Apr/09 with D Helm

One of the scariest leads ever as top corner was very thinly iced on the left wall so took pretty much no gear for the whole pitch! Lower icefalls were excellent fun....
Chad123 - AltLd O/S - Feb/08 with Emily

Hidden - 2nd O/S - 15/Feb/07

Final pitch very thin and scary
jimdanson - Lead O/S - 18/Mar/06 with danm

Led easy pitches 1 & 3. Crux pitch extremely serious
danm - AltLd - 18/Mar/06 with Jim Danson

No ice in corner on final pitch, just a vertical inch thick smear for 15m. No gear but amazing thin climbing. Just like the 3rd pitch of Gemini but with no gear.
akhughes - AltLd O/S - Feb/06

I took the easy pitch's very steep & rotten ice
Yourlead - AltLd - 26/Apr/01 with Graham Penny

Led crux on first winter ascent. Gave it IV/V at the time
