Better conditions

Wednesday, 19 March 2008

Thanks to Tim Blakemore for the two images below taken today on Ben Nevis. Tim climbed The Cascade followed by Fin Gourmet, then an abseil into Number Three Gully and back up Thompson's Chimney. Good value sort of day out from this new aspirant BMG Guide and his client Ian!

Plenty of ice on Comb Gully Buttress


Looking down Thompson's Chimney.

An experienced team phoned in from Point Five Gully today and said that it was in great shape. Just goes to show what a little dampness followed by a hard overnight frost can do. Expect more of the same over the next week or so.

Another rope back from Vanishing Gully said it was dripping early this morning, but still good for a climb.
