That is such a hard shot to get. Absolutely fantastic it really is. I hope this makes photo of the week! It looks like a painting there is so much spindrift.

Yet more evidence to back my assertion that winter climbers are more than a few snowflakes short of an avalanche. Great shot though.

Top route...full on narly conditions, really good photo telling a story.... did you get up it though? Which pitch is it? Looks like the start of the first... maybe...

When i looked at the reduced pic i thought "How can that be photo of the week" and as soon as i opened it up i saw why.
This truelly is a stunning picture.

This truelly is a stunning picture.
Just when I had banished the scottish winter from my nightmares for a few months of warm, slabby dreams, this photo brings back all the horror in one instant. And some more as-yet-unfaced horror too. Thanks a bunch.

I love this shot. Just seen it in the book Mountains by Sandy Hill... I knew I had seen it somewhere and guessed it had to be here!
