Tip Top on the Tower

Monday, 24 March 2008

Tower Ridge in great conditions yesterday and it is the same today. Plenty of action all over Ben Nevis, Aonach Mor and Glen Coe. The Curtain is formed and also Vanishing Gully for those who prefer not to walk too far for their excitement!

Glover's Chimney snapping at your heels on the exit to Tower Gap.

Cheerful climbers negotiating the 'Fallen Block' pitch on the Eastern Traverse of Tower Ridge. The tunnel is completely covered with perfect snow-ice.

Eastern Traverse spiced up with a very narrow foot-ledge and some spindrift thrown in for good measure.

This morning (24th March) looking into the North Face. Some lines not normally in conditions appear to be forming well, especially on the Minus Face.

Looking back towards Tower Ridge yesterday afternoon.

More detail this morning. Any ice smears would be worth a look.

Gloomy this morning, but cold and dry. The rest of the week looks okay until Friday, when another band of snowy weather is set to descend. Bring on the icebergs to the west coast!!
