Led by Hamish "the machine " Ogilvie- ice was dinner plating and some melting on route.Didn`t look to be much else in condition.
Abbed off the top of the steep pitch- good decision as the grade 2 slopes above showed evidence of windslab avalanche. Went climbing in sunshine at Daibaig the day after !

Ben Nevis: Green Gully
:: Route Grade
Grade IV
:: Weather Conditions
Perfect - blue skies and cold!!!
:: Climbing Conditions
Green Gully. What can I say excellent conditions and weather!! Hard neve snow all the way up from the CIC. The whole face is plastered. In the gully the ice was perfect for climbing on though not so good for taking ice screws. Plenty of build up but not banked out. Ice and mixed climbs of all standards being done averywhere on the mountain. Would take a major thaw to loose this build up.

Comb Gully, Coire na Ciste No real snow until CIC hut. Path boggy but starting to freeze.
:: Route Grade
Not Applicable
:: Weather Conditions
Perfect cold clear day. No wind.
:: Climbing Conditions
Climb definitely in condition with good ice. Still some soft snow around but most of the approach from the hut frozen down hard. The Curtain didn't really look in yet although there was a party on it - not sure if they got to the top.
