I'm a moderate climber, and a shit ice climber.
For some reason the pictures of N4G in Cold Climbs really caught my eye. The writeup was great and I think I'm also attracted to the fact that it seems like a link to a bygone age, when stuff froze more often.
Not done any winter routes in years, but like to hope that one day I might manage this one. Once I've retired to the border area I might have more time available and maybe, just maybe it might come into condition.
I've not been cognisant of conditions on routes like this for 20 years or more, so tell me. Does it still come into condition occasionally?
