Well Wintry on Tower Ridge

Monday, January 21, 2008

More Axes dropped - see below. Maybe going leashless is not such a good idea after all:0))

Hi Alan

Hope you don't mind as we have never met; I've attached three photos of Green Gully and Morwind on the 20th, a little report and in return would like use your site as a means of attempting to locate a Grivel alpwing axe (adze) dropped on green gully.

Conditions:
Green gully 19/1/08, 1st pitch was a wee bit chossy, the remaining pitches had limited ice with considerable snow and no real cornice to contend with.

Morwind 20/1/08, (very enjoyable) lean with no real ice build up and deep windslab leading to the cornice which was insignificant.

cheers

Thanks to Andy Ravenhill of Alba Mountaineering for this special collection below taken on Tower Ridge today. Conditions are good and we have plenty of space at the bunkhouse this week and into the weekend.
