Amazing climbing |
With a day off today and the weather and conditions perfect, we stormed back into Ben Nevis (again) for some fantastic ice. It was a bit of a tricky day to decide what to do as between Murdoch, Uisdean and I, we had done quite alot. SO inevitably we would have to climb a route we have already done. So we headed up into the Ciste and made our way to the Cascade (IV,5), Uisdean and I had already done this so Murdoch got to lead. Then we climbed La Panthere Rose (VI,6), Murdoch won this as Uisdean had done this before and I was to lead Kellets as both Murdoch and Uisdean had done it. Le Panthere Rose is probably on of the best ice pitches I have done this year, worth more than it's one star for sure! Then after a little sun bathe we dropped down Tower Gully and climbed the Brilliant Kellet's Route (VI,6) which had two fantastic pitches. A great day off and I'll be back on Ben Nevis tomorrow.
