βeta: Just shy of 5 hours on the route. Climbed mostly in unison, pitching the chimney, the traverse, the gap and a couple of pitches just before the top where the wind became unhelpful. Clear skies, firm compact snow all the way. Fantastic day out. | βeta? | |

βeta: Snow conditions amazingly good today... only drippy on Eastern Traverse.. Bit of type 2 fun caused by wind on the gap onwards... | βeta? | |

βeta: Walking from the quarry carpark after a relaxed and late start we arrived at the Douglas gap to find few people about and nobody on the ridge. A glorious scramble with exposure and good holds the whole way I loved every minute, with huge wall all around really added to the flavour of the route. Sun finally came out when we reached the top, want to do it again. | βeta? | |

βeta: (Summer)Lovely sustained grade 2/3 scramble, if you can handle exposure it’s a breeze. There’s always a good hold In reach even though rocks were wet you get good grip! Walk in 75mins climb 50mins, descended as the crow flys back to north face car park. Not recommended. Very loose and tiresome. Better to abseil if you have rope but 2nd best, follow the walking path down the south side and branch off right back into the Nevis valley | ||
