In reply to threepeaks:
Ha ha very good ! I climbed it on 5th Feb this year, we may have been the last pair to have climbed it before it melted away the following day? We started climbing about midnight, it wasn't that cold if I remember rightly and it looked on its last legs!
We had to wait about an hour before the persons in front of us hacked the living shit out of what Ice was left, they only got a couple of metres above the ground and said to us "you will never get up there lads" their tactics were shocking, anyway we climbed it and had a cracking night out.
Let's see what this winter brings !
