Savage Slit

Greg and James have had an excellent day on Savage Slit. Greg said the weather was good all day with light snow showers. The climb was under heavy rime which made it hard going clearing. Overall, despite the forecast things could be promising.

Honey Pot

Today Neil and Patryk climbed the Honey Pot. They said that conditions were excellent, with white buttresses and clear blue skies. Neil and Rob Started up Pot of Gold, then switched to the Message after pitch 2. With the current forecast there should be things to do for a little longer yet.

Good day out

Today I managed to get out for the first time this season. We (Greg, Neil and Myself) went into a cold, white and windy Lochain. We climbed Fallout corner, which was in excellent condition. There was ice in the cracks, but this was generally ok to clean out for gear. There were 2 other teams in the corrie, 1 on weatern route and the other on sidewinder. The snow had firmed up a little so the approach was pretty easy going.

Martin and Glenn went into Ben Udlaidh and climbed South Gully of Black Wall. Martin said the first pitch was thin and the second took good screws. Other teams were on Quartzvien Scoop and Peter Pan Direct. The road down the glen was extremely icy so take care.

Welsh Winter!

Last week was a good time to be in wales for some winter climbing. The weather was cold clear and good for some mixed climbing. Several new routes were done, these were on the north side of Crib Goch, Clogwyn y person, Glyder Fach and the Black Ladders. Sadly i was working (some ones got to it) all week on a hill skills course, which was a good week as we got to enjoy all 4 seasons in one week!  but i did get out on the weekend before work and managed 4 possible new routes all good. Now sadly I'm in my house with man fly (near deaths door) with the rain trying to break the windows I think winter here has come to an end will have to see the damage the rain has done tomorrow as it is getting cold again!! Fingers Crossed.

Central Crack Route

Simon, Andrew and Damian were the only people in Lochain today. They climbed a very white central crack route. Simon said that there was alot of fresh snow, particulaly on the great slab so care is needed on approach.

Get out there Folks!

Migrant

Euan and Greg where in Lochain today and climbed the Migrant. They said the conditions were good and the corrie was quiet.

Where's that Chimney

Neil and Neil where in Sneachda today. Despite the poor visability they had a good day on Hidden Chimney Direct. There was another team on the message and one on the messenger.
