A group of us enjoyed perfect conditions, several of us pushing out some our hardest ascents of the year.

Meeting at 10am, the teams climbed almost all areas of the outcrop, Severes through to low extremes were fought and overcome.

I think we all felt that as the days darken, shorten and wetten, it’s worth grabbing any opportunity for a tick when the conditions are so good, even if it might mean a cold dinner on return to base camp!
