Fair play fella, that was good going! It's on the to do list some day in the next few seasons. With ropes!

Great going in hit and miss conditions. I like your use of the side foot. I need to try that. Slainte

Thanks, feel like the neve was decent overall, was the less steep bits that were a bit annoying trying to get the axes to hook on anything. Ye don’t think it was textbook technique, but was mostly on the less steep bits where I didn’t need to front point, coz my calf’s were already burning haha

You had me breathing heavy over that bulge and I'm only in an armchair in my livingroom! Good sport.

Holy shit indeed! I was with you until 30:00 that ice section and a few squeaky bum moments when the crampons popped. Snow looked to be in great condition for soloing though this is well above my comfort level! Smashing effort. My shoulders are tense and gassed just from watching. I’d be petrified of getting to the very top and having to faff about in a cruddy cornice. I love it at 48:00 when you can see the bulge of the cornice. Did you carry a rope coiled in case you needed to bail off? What gear did you take to bail off? Thanks for a brilliant video, thoroughly enjoyed 👍👍

thanks! ye the ice section was nice and spicy, just have to take extra care that the axes were bomber before moving. ye should have angle the gopro further up coz the cornice was pretty massive! ye had a rope in my bag, plus 2 ice screws, some slings, and a regular set of nuts. also had a petzl connect on. thankfully didnt have to use any of it and just descended down gully no. 4.

@@Jonathan.L.C.Wilson Thanks for the answer! Was really curious about it while being flabbergasted by your climbing!
