I wouldn't sit down under that thing if you payed me - you'll notice where Andy is belaying. Imagine that lot on yer bonce!

Such an amazing route, we were psyched out of our minds at the top. Just got a text from Tim Neill raving about it.

Even as someone with zero if not negative interest in winter stuff, that does look pretty cool in the photos, strong line.

Ha! Some people just don't know how to be gentle, lets just hope they stay away from the Appendix eh?!

Up there today and it seems only the first 6 ft or so of the route has come off (it never fully touched down anyway) and is fully climbable in present state, albeit with 1 or 2 more mixed moves than before to get onto the ice(bomber wire protects most of these). Ice pretty brittle today mind with it being sooo cold.. Enjoy!

shouldn't your tagline say "watch out for the hobbit?"
