Outstanding report. Just magic.

[lomondwalkers]

Is it safe to look yet??? Looks like you had a fab day though, doubt I'll ever have the skills/bottle to do the ridge in those conditions, but looking forward to it in summer Great report!!

[SouthernUplandKing]

One for the spring me thinks, maybe i'll give it a try in the winter in the future !

People on this site think i'm mad but thers no way i would do that

Was scared just reading and looking at the photos.

Great stuff MGMT.

You should have gave MT a call as shes choking to do these

cheers dooterbang your not mad, just daft, 9 and 10 hour walks dont go into 8 hours of daylight ! but i no your only trying to get your moneys worth out of that headtorch
i didnt plan on doing the ridge, but had to phone mountain thyme before a put on the report, more scared of her than the ridge

[mgmt!]

Great report. I'm still sitting here making buttons.
That's the way to do it with experienced guys and all tooled up.
How were the other 2 you met geared up for the conditions.
A fitting tribute to your friend...well done.

thanks bpro26, the man and wife we met were well kitted out, they were both in the army and both experienced rock climbers, we let them use our rope for abseils and belays and they let us use theirs so it worked out quite well for both parties. snow and ice create different problems than just rock, and the photo,s dont really show the exposure on both sides of the ridge.

[Robinho08]

Wow, fantastic. I would love to do a winter traverse of the Aggie but know it's way out of my league at the moment. Top notch, thanks for sharing.

[Graeme D]

Hat off!

[PeteR]

Fantasic Completely barking, but fantastic

You certainly look like you had a great time on the ridge. I wish I had the b***s to be able to do these on a sunny summers day, but I don't so there's no way I would ever be up there in winter Hats off to all of you though. Great report and pictures

[pigeon]

Superb,like a few others i'm still building up the courage to do this in summer so take my hat off to you guys
