  <description>Thought the chimney was worth V5 as I couldn't excavate any pro in the thing (once over the initial bulge). This means a bit of a fighting struggle to top of it, unprotected. Perhaps conditions were...</description>

  <description>I know grades can vary from week to week, but I can't imagine what conditions would allow this to go at iV. Seems like a bit of &quot;old boys&quot; talk to me. Whatever the grade, it's still got to...</description>

  <description>You climbed an unnamed chimney to the left of the ice smeer you described. Short Chute actually splits the buttress about 50m right of this point, although the new guide book describes it as you do,...</description>

  <description>Felt like a sustained, technical 6, with gear not always easy to spot in a moss filled crack. I was glad of the cams I carried for the first time this winter!</description>

  <description>Did this a couple of times in years past.  Whole route first time and just the icy bits second time with a &quot;keep the missus happy&quot; zip round to the right of the mixed bits in upper half. ...</description>

  <description>The crux crack aint too bad, its the 3rd pitch which gives the greatest difficulty. The groove offers very little in way of protection or pick/pon placements, top end IV or even a V</description>

  <description>found it quite a challenge with just enough protection. The hooks are there if you look but the placements for points were a bit sketchy. Getting into the cave gives welcome respite. I thought it...</description>

  <description>An excellent gully. Sustained but straightforward ice pitches, especially the top one which is brilliant. Also a lonely and atmospheric setting.</description>

  <description>Last week it was an easy snowslope (with a decent sized cornice), the week before it was just the snowslope, earlier in the season it had a couple of rock steps, but still only II max, I thought....</description>

  <description>I also agree with the previous comments. It was runout and scary and although my winter climbing experience runs to 3 NZ mountains and about 6 UK winter routes, I have 17yrs rockclimbing behind me....</description>
