Breaking trail, on and upwards. You need to move slow on these walk ins other wise you end up sweating then getting chilled when you arrive at the stance. The temperature was at -4 this morning so a bit lower than we've had during the week.
Difficult terrain to negotiate.
Just setting up for the first pitch.
Checking,Alls good ready to go.
Over the ramp up a steady slope then onto a near vertical section to the belay.
Looking back.
Dean has the second pitch, a lot steeper than it looks. When we got on it, it was just off vertical.
Dean just about to pop over the top onto a big run out to a back wall of ice.
So, climb over. Lots of tat here, it's been a busy abseil stance.
At the stance.
Looking back towards the route, the abseil point is just set off to the right of the climb so I set up the belay then belay Dean across from his anchor point.
Looking back across the valley to the east.
After we get down, we go for a wander round town. The buildings are fantastic, the architecture is superb.
The old power station built in 1913, the film the SABOTURES was filmed here.
Watch the new film which was filmed in 2014 as this is the correct interpretation of what actually happened, not the incorrect version of 1965 which didn't give credit where credit was due.
The Hydo museum is well worth looking round, really interesting.
So, it's been a fantastic week with some amazing climbs being completed.
