Hell's Lum choice of routes a bit limited today so went for a repeat of DCC as it looked good from below. Wonderful snow ice and a joy to climb, infinitely better than my first ascent.
Captain Solo - AltLd rpt - 23/Feb/13 with Dave Kerr

Great route. Ice/snow on lower pitches was fine.

Led the entertaining exit pitch and a couple of earlier ones. Starting the back-and-foot is a daunting prospect, but fine once established (and once my partner's guidance based on 19-year old memories was ignored).

Conditions made this tough for the grade. Fresh snow and not much ice lower down. Chimney was very entertaining.

Hannah Evans - AltLd - 16/Dec/12 with Scott Kirkhope

Covered in haw frost when we got to the point where we had to exit the chimney we couldn't see the line and so bailed. On return one look at a UKC picture and we realised our error. The sort of route that should have the phrase 'cheeky exit' or 'improbable finish' in my eyes, though probably more obvious in less powdery conditions. The retreat made for a long day, need to come back for it now!

Had planned to do Sticil face but a major thaw put paid to that. This, however, was a fantastic consolation route which was still nicely frozen.

Corker of a route, fantastic finish.

turf was just about frozen although thawing quick. Ab'd off before the end as the highest pitches were completely bare rock

Lots of unfrozen turf and bad ice at the bottom changing into reasonably compacted snow in the middle and then horrible powder at the top. It was out of the wind though

A real fight due to poor conditions on the initial slopes and bottomless powder in the chimmney. Did it in five pitches and led the crux in the dark...

A bit melty and I got very damp. A difficult but short crux. A fierce white-out on top made for an interesting homeward slog.

d_meacher - Lead O/S - 17/Dec/09 with David Webster

soloed 1st pitch, lead a short pitch from the upper gully into the heart of the chimney, partner lead the rest. excelent mixed climbing in near perfect conditions!
Webster - AltLd O/S - 17/Dec/09

Very warm start to the day, powdery conditions at the start, unfortunately there was already a pair on the climb, so we didn't have the crag to ourselves. The leader of the pair infront of us was unfortunate to dislodge the flake he had used for protection and had torqued his axe on for the final set of moves out onto the chalk stones at the crux!!! Not sure how this affect the climb for those wanting to make the final set of moves in the sam way. An excellent day.
John Roe - Lead - 04/Mar/09 with Stu Joyce, Marcus Littler

Very nice climbing, Soloed up to the chimney then did the route in two pitches, awesome top pitch with some funky chimney action. Haul or leave sack somewhere if you can.
