Point 5 Gully

We got to the CIC a bit late, we could see teams on Orion Direct, Minus 3, Minus 1 and Zero
Many teams had already gone up Point 5, and teams on Observatory Buttress - Ordinary Route
Several teams were on Hadrians
A bit late in the morning - I'm on pitch 1 on Point 5 (the queues had gone and there was nobody behind us). The climb is fairly well banked out, so pitch 1 was shorter than it has been in the past. The climb is incredibly hooked and stepped at the moment. The ice is thick - so this climb will be here for a while :)
Pitch 2, fun, fun, fun
Lena sets off on the Rogue pitch as spindrift comes down
Lena cruising up the steep pitch
Lena on one of the upper pitches
Lena topping out onto the summit plateau
A quiet summit - of course we had to climb ontop on the shelter as well to complete our route :)
