Super! Nice to do this again, this time to the top. I set off intending to get to the half way belay. Couldn’t find it so carried on to a niche where I thought there would be a belay but there was just a peg and some soggy ice. Ended up doing a semi hanging belay off a peg and two screws in good ice at the base of the niche. Main issue was I got sprayed from above and soon enough turned into an iced up armadillo. Wasn’t too bad but the gear got frozen solid. That was a 60m pitch, taking in some varied technical climbing over and round multiple cauliflowers. Took my time as didn’t want to get pumped. Pretty steady but had to pull a bit in places. Dave took us to the top of the main section. Another great pitch, no cauliflowers but steep and featured. Had to pass through a brief shower, otherwise dry. I did the following easy link pitch and then the fourth pitch. This was fairly short and about WI4. Belayed in the sun! Dave led through to the top, another WI4 pitch but with brittle ice. Great views on the sunlit plateau. Abbed down in four. Passed the half way three bolt belay on the way - it was hidden by an ice bulge and perfectly dry... 6 hours up, half of it spent on P1. Just under 12 hours round trip from the van. with davkeo |

Climbed the pillar in 2 pitches. Misha started with a full 60 & ended up between the 2 bolted belay stations in a rather wet situation. I was happy for a quick changeover but still got quite wet & everything was frozen by the time I arrived at the next belay. Pumpy pitch. The pillar overall was very featured & gave lots of interesting climbing. 3 more fun easy pitches to the top & glorious sunshine. with Misha |

Great route, lives up to the hype! Another party on RHS so we went L. Nic led short pitch to the ledge. I took it from there to a cool cave. Looked straightforward but actually featured a few short overhanging steps with some delicate placements. Not hooked out so tricky enough. I then got to lead the next pitch to the top of the pillar. Knocked off a bit of ice into my face, minor cut but not lasting scar. Pretty wet on the pillar despite it being -20! Ran out of daylight so didn’t do the last two pitches. with Nicolas |

Led first pitch which was straightforward if a bit weird "ear" hooking! Really nice ski descent with pillows, drops and knee deep cold powder :-) with John McCune, Graham Mcgrath |

shouldn't have tried this - knew I was tired & climbing badly when I began. Led first 2 pitches, ran out of steam on the 3rd as ground got easier! Had rather epic fall (nearly 20m) plus another fall when reclimbed. Given TR on last few metres by party above. Felt sorry for steve as 2nd who got very cold in wet cave. with Steve Scott |

Dave lead pitch one because 'it looks the most interesting'. I settled for P2 because it looked 'easy' and Dan the Man had the vertical pillar on P3. The second pitch turned out to be overhanging, pumpy, scary and amazing! Great route, great company and great experience. with dave g, Dan Carroll |

Super classic route - fairly steep! But not too committing as lots of in-situ belays. Humble managed to drop axe from the crux 3rd pitch and it hit nothing on the way down. We did it in two long pitches. with James Humble |
