Great Gully, Am Buchaille Etive Mor
:: Route Grade
Grade III
:: Weather Conditions
Light snow showers
:: Climbing Conditions
Can't think when I was last on such a long and continuous ribbon of ice and neve [even on The Orion Face although obviously this is less steep overall]. Loads of excellent ice.
One very thinly iced section at about a quarter height and this won't be improved by the present milder weather , We climbed it Wednesday night starting at 7.30pm and finished just a hundred or so meters from the summit cairn at 11pm.
Grade II ? in guide book but III in present nick.
Very Alpine
Billy - eat your heart out!
