This is mainly just to say to whoever left the in situ ice screws on Smith's that I think they're still there, I was asked to take them out and drop them off at the CIC by the team in front of us when they decided to abb off, but we abbed off them too so couldn't remove them. The was a team behind us but I think they abbed off too! The route is in reasonable condition, I think most of us today were put off by a glassy section of ice formed by dripping water that looked very slimy. The icicle variation is borderline climbable; take lots of ice screws if you attempt it as on the pitch we did climb ice screws were the only gear, including belays.

Cheers for the update, the screws are mine after an accident yesterday which left my partner unable to climb.
