Great on Great Gully again. 1st February

01/02/13

The more I climb it the more I’m convinced that the Great Gully on Blaven is an absolute classic winter route; over 300m of grade I snow stomp right to the crest of the peak and (sometimes) the best mountain vista in Scotland as a reward.

No view of the Ridge today just some wonderful brief windows, a broken spectre and incredible sculpted snow.

Jane twisted her ankle visiting the Fairy Pools on Monday and has been listening with envy about our outings over the past couple of days. It was great to have her join us today and whatever medicine she’s been taking worked wonders as we all bombed up and down in under 6 hours.

I’ve started including galleries a bit more recently; let me know with comments what style is prefered please.
