Rockfax Description
The deep gully gives a tremendous winter adventure with a desperate section
1) 3, 60m. Climb ice directly below the gully
2) 2, 30m. Follow the snow slope to the gully
3) 3, 25m. Gain the gully via a steep icy section, tough in lean conditions
4) 1, 40m. Follow the snow gully to a cave
5) 5, 45m. Exit the cave direct, or in lean conditions this can be skirted on the left
6) 2, 120m. Romp up the upper gully. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Cave pitch rarely climbed direct (requires well banking with snow). Variation pitch traverses L along ledges to arete; up a wide groove to easy groung; then, swing back into gully bed, rejoining above cave
