Day Ice!

Went up to Shoulthwaite Gill this morning, with the intention of having a look at it and soloing it if it looked reasonable.

Night Ice

Popped in to see Li'l Pete after work this evening...

Reliable weather and hundreds of limestone sport routes to tackle. A crimpers paradise…

I had a spare day, so when Jon phoned last night to ask if we were up for anything, I said "Of course!"

Tom and Jaquie came up from London on New Years Eve to stay the weekend and enjoy the snow.

If we'd had our ice axes and crampons we might have done some ice climbing, but those are still in France. Doh!

What a great day to be out!!

With fairly good snow cover continuing, Anna and I took the opportunity to grab Andy and Sabiene's neighbour Helen for a ski tour up High Pike.

Yes!! Snow... and we took a short walk up High Spy to build up an appetite for CAKE!
