Do the CIC Icefall routes have names? When up on the Ben there seemed to be at least 9 distinct routes:

I'm guessing the the two routes listed on UKc are lines D and G (is that right?) but do any of the others have names/grades, or are they just random bit of ice which vary from one season to the next?

A - Grade II/III ice
B - Grade IV/V ice
C - Grade V/VI ice pillar
D - Carn Dearg Cascade / CIC Icefall (V,5)
E - Grade III/IV mixed
F - Grade III/IV mixed
G - Carn Dearg Right Cascade / CIC Icefall (IV 4)
H - Grade III ice route
I - Grade I/II gully
