Hi folks, just back from a week in Rjukan and due to head up to the CIC this Thursday evening for a long weekend. Obviously I’ve checked the conditions page and can see there is little getting done on the Ben. Can anyone with first-hand experience of last couple of days give me any further insight, especially in respect of extent/condition of underlying snow base / frozen scree and if the tops of many of the routes have had their loose rock consolidated? I’ve seen AIH post from 19th Feb which was useful, but very little since then.....
In reply to stratandrew: A bit of a wade yesterday but amazed with the changes even in one day. Very little firm stuff until the last 100 / 200 meters and even less Ice but changing rapidly. Walked into the Hut sunday afternoon with waterfalls running down the cascades... Walked out yesterday afternoon and Ice was definitely forming rapidly on them.
