New SnowSunday, 31 January 2010
Plenty of action in the ditch on the forestry track today, with various vehicles and drivers not able to handle the new snow late in the day. Snow chains needed for those fortunate few with a key to the gate! Stringfellow was climbed today. Reports suggest that the high ice is not forming well and Psychedelic Wall is not in good shape. posted by Westcoast Mountainguides @ 23:27

I guess Neanderthal must have rimed up a lot over night on Saturday, as it was black as coal when we went for a look.
We did Barbarian which was the only remotely wintry looking line on the crag.
Helped out with a casualty on the way down, hope she rovers quick!
I do hope Neanderthal rimed up a lot before Sunday, as it was black as coal on Saturday. We did Barbarian instead, nice techy thin ice and the only wintry looking line on the crag.
Helped a casualty on the way back down, hope she recovers quickly!
Hi Fulton,
I'm checking with my contact. Hopefully be in touch shortly.
Dear Fultonius,
It was me out on Lost Valley Buttress on Sunday... sorry I got the days wrong when I emailed Alan... it was late, I was tired after the days climbing and you know how it is.
We climbed moonlighting and the team I saw on Neanderthall seemed on a reasonably white crag to me and the Aberdonian climbers I was with. It started snowing in the afternoon too and the team were getting pummelled by spindrift on the upper pitches when we walked off below them... I think they were getting the 'full' winter experience to be honest. Hope this helps and wish you happy climbing, Tania
Damn, just shows you what a difference a day makes!
Glad you had a good day!
