Wavelength

Lena climbing and Hannah belaying

With a good forecast on the Saturday, Hannah, Lena and I drove over to the N'orries. We got to the barrier which was closed, so we ended up driving up the hill in a convoy and so seemed to walk up the hill in a convoy too. Busy again, lots of climbers out again with such good conditions. We looked for a climb with nobody on, and opted for 'Wavelength' on the Fluted Buttresses, left of Fluted Buttress direct.

As usual the area was busy, with crouds on most of the starred routes. The ice was better than I was expecting, so I was enjoying my sharp picks.

Lena and Hannah made quick work of their pitches, placing good gear and leading confidently.

A good route on a good day with good company. Another 4 months of this please. We happily strolled down the Goat Track to the car park - this time not in a convoy for once...
