Cold, wet and windy but thoroughly enjoyable. A couple of good spicy bits for a moderate. Certainly worthy of 3 stars.

pitched one section high up on the ridge brilliant route I suspect that if this ridge was on almost any other british mountain it would get 3 stars

Beautiful day for a quick ascent. For a Mod the two steep pitches are good value!!! particularly with all the crampon scratches. Never dull!

An amazing route, especially as my first winter climb, and first mountain route. Some ice and a dusting of snow - axes and crampons in places. Beautiful still clear day. Descended #4 Gully.

Big Lee - Solo O/S - 18/Jun/10

Good scrambling and some decent mod pitches. Solo'd mostly, watch out for a tricky pitch after a very loose section before the ridge. Extremely atmospheric, especially once the ridge is gained. Watch out for deer on the approach!

A mass ascent done late on Friday after walking up to the CIC hut for the weekend. Snow and ice looked dodgy so did this in summer condition (i.e. it rained most of the way). Climbing wet rock in scarpa vegas is interesting.
