Often good ice lower down, then snowy chimney thrutching.

βeta: How to grade this? I picked my way up the lower slopes with some icy steps and frozen turf to get up some steeper bits - but its mainly just a steep snow covered hillside. But then the chimney itself is probably only 8 mtrs and its only the top few metres that are hard. I thrutched up it with some moderately brutal chimneying. Some hooks and turf for tools - probably about tech 5, but only for about 3 mtrs!
