Don't know but you can get a kinder suprise at my corner shop. May be they sell kinder downfalls as well.

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:

Not sure, but I think it's frozen just now.

In reply to MG:
Friday night and no link to the YouTube Kinder Downfall video?

There's one on Facebook from a guy who is camping up there. Looked very snowy and surprisingly icy up there.

^best yet!

In reply to MG:


An ascent logged on Friday... my tongue in cheek post may have been unexpectedly prescient! Was it really in...?

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:

Well I wasn't there but the water in my pond 5 miles away and 350m lower away was entirely liquid....

In reply to MG:

Yes! Some funny route logging going on this weekend, lakes too...

Yesterday I found some ice just a few kms across the plateau from the downfall - more northerly aspect too. But it was too soft to take body weight - https://twitter.com/TobyinHelsinki/status/820733689885818881 I'm not used to ice that you can actually drag your pick through and leave a line! In Finland I guess once it was cold enough to start to freeze it froze without being slushy at all so even a cm was enough to climb as long as you were brave enough! I saw some one had recorded the downfall in the the logbooks, but it seemed a bit unlikely after what I had seen.

In reply to planetmarshall:

Such an impressive place- worth the walk even if there's nothing to climb!

In reply to TobyA:

That's very interesting- so it wouldn't have  taken the cold spell to go on too much longer and there would have been climbable ice then. ..
