Phil was back in action again after resting his knee. Teaming up with his friend Andy we headed for the West Face of Aonach Mor. We were heading for 'Golden Oldie' but we got seduced early by some ice Phil spotted. I was suddenly glad that I'd brought my 2 quarks and 4 screws as I found myself leading up 100m ice. Phil and Andy enjoyed the 2 screw belays, but not the freezing water spout that I liberated from under the ice with a tool placement. After the 2 great ice pitches we found lots of technical rock. We practiced our torquing, and found rock slabs, corners, walls and cracks. But... Phil has trouble with his knee again, and the walk to the Gondola proved really hard through deep snow. Well done guys on an awesome day. Will Phil be able to come out to play on the last day of the course...
