I'm thinking of trying March Hares Gully thin weekend and was just wondering if anyone knows if it's in or not?

It was in a week ago and I don't see it having changed much.

I did it yesterday. The entry pitch is thin but very climb able. It is mostly water ice rather than neve and thus perhaps a bit harder

In reply to Robertgiddy:

Just a quick word of caution for anyone considering going into Mad Hatter's Gully: altho' the climb is in excellent nick there is currently regular rockfall coming down the gully if the sun is out and hitting the upper slopes where there is a lot of loose, shattered sandstone.

Anything that gets dislodged is funnelling straight down the gully. Might therefore be best to try it on an overcast day at the minute - or make a very early start.

Cheers,
Col
