Not to bad considering

Wednesday, 18 February 2009

Hi Alan, As promised, No.2 was great today, new ice was forming near the plateau. Glovers had traffic, as did Green Gully and Comb. Central Gully and Right Hand were in. The soggy snowpack was very firm today. The forecast looks like things will get better too. The harder mixed cliffs are empty of snow, but high up Indicator wall will probably be good. Looking down an escape able Gardyloo, Caledonia and Shot in the Dark looked well in after the overnight high freeze. Cascade would be climbable, especially if you had one of those drinks that gives you wings, although any ice screw placements may have sprung a leak. People were also climbing out pretty vertically from Tower Gully. The good old North Face of the Ben is more than hanging in there, and has survived the warm week very well! Speak soon Bruce
