Please refrain from climbing outside
Due to the ongoing spread of Covid-19, please abstain from climbing outside.
At UKC we are all climbers and we understand the strong urge to be outdoors as the weather is finally improving, but we feel this is no longer socially acceptable. You can read our statement here.
We have suspended the UKC Logbooks Top Ascents and Conditions pages and we will no longer accept ascents dated from 23rd March onwards. You can still upload your historic ascents.

| Gavin McColl | 23 Feb | AltLd O/S | Variant first and last pitch. Busy day so decided to make our own route to keep moving, was great! Started left of where the first pitch takes and followed a nice groove for about 30m. P2 traveres right to the top of the normal gully with very little gear. P3 as normal. P4 went slightly right up a v. Nice chimney which felt about V, 5. Not a hell of a lot of gear. Could be a common alternative from going direct as there was a relatively new peice of tat (this takes almost a full 60m run out). Soloed the rest. |

Jack's first ever route and even led the third pitch! Top effort.
Slush from the car park turning to soft wet snow at base of route, then good snow ice for the last two pitches. Some snow in cracks but easily clearable. (Also helped there was a team in front of us)
However as we started to abseil back down wind picked up and significant snow fall has now covered most of the route in soft fresh snow and graupel.
Recovered the sling and two screwgates of the instructor we met but didn't get his contact details. Hoping he's on here!
Also recovered some purple tat and red snap gate from the base of the North Buttress. Can get it back to you if you wish? with Jack Morford |

First tech 4 lead! I led pitches 1, 3 (took the easier right variation) and 5 (took the easy but unprotected slab on the left). The guidebook says you can do it in four pitches, and it's quite right, but it neglects to mention that there's a rope-length of easy ground between pitches 3 and 4, so we, like the party before us (Robbie and Aaron from the Alpine Climbing Group meet), did it in five pitches. Pitch 2 was the standout - fantastic hooks that just kept coming. with Kitty EUMC |

Excellent route, though suspect slightly more challenging with the quantity of powder! I led pitches 2 and 4...ish, final pitch was more of a rope drag-fest than a proper lead. Definitely think pitch 3 was the crux and conveniently was done by Paul :-) with Ant Man Bee |

Good hooks in chimneys, fun route, bit nervy being the first route of season, needed to trust tools better, would come back to do again. Abbed from just above the chimneys. Descent over powder covered slabs was a nightmare and took an age! with MaccMark |

Beautiful day, warm spring sunshine on the walk in but very wintry once out of the sun and on the route. Did the left variant half way up the chimneys and left top out (both tech 5 IMO). The route is a pretty solid IV even with good neve. A brilliant very enjoyable line. Due to avalanche hazards Steve insisted on descending the south side of the mountain and walking back along the Glen Etive road....took 3 and a half hours from the summit! with Steve Grove |

Lower pitches were in summer condition, middle of the route was out of condition with mushy snow and semi-frozen turf. Top of route was in excellent condition. Started route at 10.45am, finished 12.45am! Matt needed to remove his boots and socks to climb the first pitch. Surely off route given the difficult climbing throughout. Slipped onto the rope near the top. Felt tough in current conditions but a great mountaineering outing. Also, a flat car battery at 3am, which meant were not at our hut until 5am... with tommytuffa, Matt Gordon |

Brilliant route! We found it hard under soft snow and it felt much longer than we thought it would. Crappy near white-out conditions by the time we finished all the difficulties. with Sam Wood and Softie P |

Too warm, everything was melting. I tried the first pitch, but backed off. Richard lead it but we abbed off half way up the second pitch. Then witnessed a huge avalanche coming out of Great Gully. One of those 'learn a lot' days. Looks like it would be a great route, so we'll get back on it when things are a bit colder. with RK |

Kings house to warm up then back to Edinburgh by 3.30am. Lots of deer on the roads, not a bad day out for my first winter climb! with Tom Wallbank, Helena Robinson |
