Glovers Chimney (III)

Date:

Characteristic:

Ice climbing

Some old pictures from a really good route. Fantastic ice at the first pitch, followed by good quality neve in the main gully. Didn't bother belaying too much there and moved together on a long rope for a lot of the time since the conditions were so good. Last pitch up into Tower Gap was fun, but finished in the dark, the rock on both sides of the gully was completely glazed in ice but surprisingly OK for finding ice axe placements. Continued up Tower Ridge to reach the summit plateau before descending. This trip will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Ben Nevis via South Castle Gully

Characteristic:

Alpine trip

En gammel tur opp Ben Nevis med Joanne og Pete. Gikk opp South Castle Gully (II) og ned Number 4 Gully (I) på nordsiden av fjellet. Fin vårtur men snøen i renna var ikke helt solid og vi gikk opp i taulag opp uten å sikre ruten. Det blåste godt da vi kom opp til platået men jeg har ellers veldig få minner uten bildene!
