N.E. Buttress in good shape

Sunday, 13 December 2009


Ben Nevis just now, looking over to Tower Ridge.


'Forty Foot Corner' The final hard pitch on N.E. Buttress.


Hi Alan,

Myself and a couple of mates from OB where out on N.E. Buttress yesterday. It was a surprisingly quiet day with a couple of other parties on N.E and a couple on Tower ridge. The conditions are good at the moment with some good ice on top of dry rock. The rocks in the shade are still covered in rime making gear placements a bit of a mission but solid axe placements. I've attached some photos for your blog if your interested.

Scott Kirkhope.


Thanks Scott,

I also heard on the grapvine that Smith's Route on Gardyloo Buttress has been climbed in 'thin' conditions.
