Description

Some ice on steeper actions, tending to be covered by snow on gentler sections. The ice had a habit of disappearing at the tops leaving you to surmount the final bulges with axes and hands buried In powdery snow. Final slab of OP’s Chimney Variation covered by a hollow layer of ice. Tried to climb vertical powder in C Gully, Scafell Pike but gave it up as a bad job. Companion Graham McCulloch.
