Almost canyoning at times! Main pitch still fat but think that might be it for no.6 this year?

great conditions

Probably a bit banked out but still very good, crux excellent, amazing ice umbrellas to weave through. Some serious spindrift at times!

Bit crowded but a nice time on a great classic

Pitched the main icefall, soloed small steps before this. Very banked out, a good quick route on a windy day. Rope frozen into the ice...story?

Good snow up the easy bits and fairly fat ice on the crux which took screws well.

Brilliant route, bit of congestion. Jonny did an amazing job leading all pitches.

think i lead the direct finish. Dropped a screw because of terrible ice. Someone caught it below.

Awesome day. Couldn’t decide whether to get on this or the screen, in the end with the amount of waiting we could have done both. P1&3, Darren dispatched the crux in style despite the spindrift avalanche

Managed to complete the first couple of pitches given the wind and conditions

banked out low down, but good ice after. Direct finish to exit.

Full Scottish conditions with second ice pitch slightly wet. Classic route.

AltLead with some parts by moving together. I took the crux. Some parts may have been buried, but two steep parts were in good nick. 2 parties behind us, but we were much faster. It snowed occassionally.

Main ice pitch quite wet, screws not very good.

Got up early to avoid the crowds, good couple of ice falls on lovey chewy ice!

Lead cruz pitch. Good ice but some runnig watwr near the top

Route in good condition, but of water running at the top of the final ice pitch, but avoidable. Good screws on all ice pitches.

Very marginal - top pitch held though the tinkling ice fall was a bit worrying..

Nice easy approach and descent which I was glad for after yesterdays mission. Great route, melting though!

I wouldn't recommend this climb as it is starting to melt at the moment. I think we caught it in the nick of time. My second winter climb and first winter lead. Great.

Good route great nick for time of year. Ice hard and brittle but not dangerously so.

Excellent route, I led pitches 1,3 and 5.. Kenny did 2nd and 4th (crux).

Climbed as a three. Ice still in good condition but quite chopped out in places.

2nd up it, in a long conga line of aspirant 6 tickers!

Very nice. Lovely wander up to Bidean after - stunning views. Elliots Downfall is touching down.

Really stepped out.

Not bad condition but starting to melt in places by the afternoon. get there early morning

Fantastic conditions, lots of hard , very hard ice.

Pitch 1+3

olly first lead. Alt leads, I lead the main ice pitch

climbed with Shian's friend Dan bailey

Led 2 and 4

Bit of an anti-climax...and got smacked bigtime by flying ice.

Climbing as a three and started at 1 pm after the masses had all but vacated the climb and after we had backed off The Screen due to rotten ice on the main pitch. No 6 was in great condition though a bit too stepped, but still able to to use virgin ice. Graham lead every thing except last pitch which was a joint lead with myself & Paul. Epic day.

Excellent conditions, ice good for axes and screws, felt no harder than SC gully.

Brilliant fun, although he got the wonderful crux pitch - again!

lead 1st ice pitch. Connor lead the others.

busy.

First ever winter climb, awesome route, and awesome Scottish winter conditions with the wind blowing a gale and lots of spindrift coming down from above. Great introduction to ice and crampons.

Climb in good nick, fantastic day out in rather blustery conditions

Day of guiding. Ice was ok, but a bit cruddy in places.

Working

Another 20 year ambition fulfilled! Merry Christmas!

Third time! Possibly the most interesting time as well, as lots of good hard ice and featured sections, with a freeze this will only get better - go do it!

What a classic, a nice surprise to find it in nick so early on in the season.

A wet and melting icefall, but worth the effort. A nice easy day after Orion face yesterday.

very wet.

With RK. The ice in the lower section of first pitch was dislodged by our passing. Thereafter a smashing ice route. We were unsure the traverse to the right at the top of the difficulties would lead us to a safe descent. So we went up..into sunshine and sandwiches...a smashing picnic

best ever day,superb weather and ice,did the steep V finish

Started at the very bottom, below a short mixed section past some small jammed (?) boulders. The ice crux was on P4, which had a short steep section, whereas the main ice fall on P5 was more like III. On the last pitch opted for an interesting mixed groove with a slightly overhanging exit via an ice column - don't think it was IV! Great route, very atmospheric situation. Six pitches, led P2, P4 and P6. We found two bits of dropped gear, one of which was a glove - email me with details.

awesome route, very very thin ice in places.

Desperate 1st pitch(V)with no protection. Well done Simon.

very thin to begin with - desperate other than that nice climb

Amazed there was no-one about at all. Still perfectly climbable.

Not quite as fun as last time as plus five degrees, lots of rain coming down and some slushy snow to deal with. A few of the pitches were pretty good though, good double with the Screen. Tempted by Elliot's Downfall but just a bit too mild!

Melting, busy, classic

bottom pitch v thin and running with water

Great route, best ice climb in Glen Coe?

bottom pitch, below icefall, poor and thin

Arguably the best grade 3 or 4 in Scotland?

Great day out with Jon
