Description

Led Crux. Ice on steeper sections with accumulations of powder snow on flatter sections. Found that dams of ice at the top of the steeper sections frequently broke resulting in a deluge of icy water! Made use of frozen vegetation and verglased rocks where the ice petered out. Good belays hard to find. Had hoped to do Trojan but there was insufficient ice. Companion Graham McCulloch
