Most excellent bod. One off my fav hills. Also nearly a local hill for me. I never get fed up off doing this hill or reading reports and looking at pictures off it :)

Pictures paint a thousand words - all so eloquent and enticing.

You'll have us queueing up to do these with a report like this.

Well done.

Just WOW, the photos show how edgy it looks. Its like the horror movie noise in the cellar - you just know that you are going to go and have a look. Superb report.

what a fantastic report and pictures bod, if those mountains dont look good in dry sunny weather, they look even better with a dusting of snow. it seems to enhance the gullies and ledges more, dont fret about not scrambling over the pinnacles, im sure you will return one day to scratch that itch, and maybe even a winter traverse to complete a mountain trinity so to speak
