In reply to ColdWill:
I seem to have grown out of the enthusiasm for suffering early season winter climbs - actually, any sort of winter climbs, a quick look shows my last one was in Feb 18 - although it was a nice one.
Maybe get back to it this year, fingers crossed, but then may have to look at updating worn gear so cost may hold me back.
Hope you do get back into it yourself and have a good season.
Pygmy Ridge must be in soon?
