-
Between showers we got some great views back down the glen. Funeral Falls is the obvious ice line on Broad Cairn Bluffs

After soloing the first section Uisdean belays in the cave

Debs grins and bears it as another shower comes through while we gear up

A very snowy Creag an Dubh Loch looks menacingly on as we gear up – we made the right choice…

-
After two sketchy approach pitches it was time to concentrate and get on with some proper climbing
-
-
A couple of useless and a handful of good screws later I move onto the ramp beneath the Damoclean icicle fringe
-
-
Beautiful wind-sculpted ice formations in the cave
-
-
The Hanging Garden area of the Dubh Loch framed by icicles
-
-
Happy climbers in the cozy cave belay

Scoping out the way ahead at the start of the crux pillar – the cavity under the ice to my left was amazing!

A good foothold provides respite for the arms mid crux
