Thanks Derek, glad you enjoy the report. Yeah I'd love to go back and repeat this one in the summer and tie it in with The Brack on a long dry day. Give me a chance to see what that climb down was really like!!!

Looks like you had similar views to myself although I had a lot less snow. The path and the rocks were still covered in ice though and I did slide a fair bit :D
