βeta: Snow condition-wise, If you need to pitch the traverse to gain the route, you are better off finding something else to do. For 2nd pitch we traversed right and, making the noise of a dying hyena, gained a small wall to easier ground (really unsure whether this was the route or it went left at P2). This allowed us to continue to the small chimney, which was excellent. Fun outing with two mates! | βeta? | |

βeta: Take care to deliberately traverse left for the 3rd pitch chimney. We could see where a recent team had continued in a more direct line into a steep wide gully with a difficult feature to surmount at the top - could have been interpreted as a chimney as described in the book. Abseil tat etc had been left, hinting at epic-territory. The correct chimney comes out by savage slit. I advise folk to look at the UKC pictures uploaded for this route. | βeta? | |
