Been a good winter so far in the cold punchey stabby country.
Crypt Route (V 6) **** - 4 pitches, Bidean Nam Bian, with Bradley. Squeeeeze
Green Gully (IV 4) ** - 4 and a bit pitches, Ben Nevis, with Brendan Bailey. Ben goodness
North Buttress (IV 4) 4 and a bit pitches*** - Buachaille Etive Mór, with Alek
Cave Route (III 4) 4 pitches - The Cobbler, with Alek. Scary turfy
CIC cascade (middle) (IV 4) 1 pitch - Ben Nevis, with Niall. Dinnerplatey, also ran out of rope inopportunely
Quartzvein Scoop (IV 4) 2 pitches - Ben Udlaidh, with Thomas and Cecilia. Scary melty
Aonach Eagach traverse (II) **** solo really, - Much of Glencoe, with Alek. Glorious
South Gully of the Black Wall (IV 5) ** 2 pitches - Ben Udlaidh with Brendan Bailie. Steep and melty
North East Buttress (IV 4) **** movey together with the odd pitch - Ben Nevis with Sam Simpson. 5 hours faster than planned
Point Five Gully (V 5) **** 5 and a bit putches - Ben Nevis with Sam Simpson. Steep and excellent
The Aonach Eagach is brilliant fun on a nice day. Absolutely classic. Northeast Buttress and Point Five are amazing climbs too. It's been a good start to 2013 and a great Winter so far, hopefully get out next weekend and that might be the end of it... would love to have a go at a couple more classic Ben Nevis ice gullies!
Couldn't be bothered writing more as I already did on my bloggy thing.
