The Grist - Lead O/S - 31/Mar/13 with Alan Barnes

Brilliant with plenty of quality climbing and lots more actual ice than many other Vs. Thinning in places. Finished up NEB for the full experience. Led pitches 2, 4 (intermediary ice-screw belay) and a shorter than expected 6.

Brilliant climb, favourite winter climb so far. First pitch was thin, ice was good on the other pitches. http://www.masterplan-photography.co.uk/2013/03/gully-north-east-buttress

After orion direct. Great route, atmospheric start in a narrow chimney, nice icy traverse halfway, and then a cool ice pitch up at the top. Unbelieveably someone did a shit on the last belay ledge just before we arrived - RANK!

Huge route for me. Finished in crap weather and abseiled back down the route in a torrent of melt water - Never Ever been colder.
