In reply to james mann:
Absolutely agree with you that this is not an internationally significant Alpine ascent, and it's a fair point you raise too - so don't worry about being a bar steward! In the same way as the Waker isn't cutting edge, repeats or first ascents of E8s aren't either, but we sometimes report those too (not always).
It's a tricky one to decide what to put up on the site sometimes, but good photos, a strong story, interesting characters etc all add up to make something 'worthwhile' from a reporting sense, as does out and out impressive climbing too of course, so an E12 would go up even without any comments, or images!
With this one I had thought Natalie was going to include a few other winter Alpine ascents from Brits too, but maybe we can do a bit of a round-up, I'd certainly find it interesting.
Oh, and well done to the lads for the route too!
