I was having a quick browse through some photos from last years winter climbing and thought I’d upload a few to a gallery.
I had a few trips last year, mostly mixed climbing but with some great low level ice as well, it was so cold there were quite a few routes formed that hadn’t been in condition for years.
One of the most memorable days was in Glen Coe, where we climbed an ice route on the south side of the Anoach Eagach ridge called “Blue Riband”. It was about 400m in length with the crux grade V, 5 pitches at the start and then mellowing out into alpine type terrain right up to the ridge line, where we topped out into the setting sun, perfect.
