Ed abseiling into Easy Gully
The Jagged Globe Snow and Ice Climbing course today headed for Aonach Mor. It was set to be a fantastic day, but still the East Face wasn't too busy. Again Easy Gully was very solid, making for an easy descent. As we got to the bottom of the East Face, the sun had hit the face and the ice started to melt for the couple of hours that the sun was on it. Ed was on Morwind and we opted for Turf Walk (III,4*). Mark Hendry went for Tunnel Vision.

It was great to be climbing in the sun - I only wore 3 thin layers, and thin gloves - I think we may have even picked up some colour from the sun - where's the cold, spindrift and suffering - that'll probably be back soon...

Fred and Tariq said that their favourite climb of the week had been Twisting Gully, so next year we'll try some harder mixed climbs, with interesting lines.

It was a great week for the team and a brilliant week for weather and conditions. Things are however now set to change.
