The Bastion

A wintery mountain rock face with snow patches below and a frozen lochan, split by gully containing steep blue icefalls.

The Bastion presiding over a frozen Loch Kander. The icy depression leading up to the steep black headwall and hanging icefall is taken by Bastion Direct (V, 4). I don’t think Bastion Direct climbs the hanging icefall as the guidebook mentions an icy ramp and a traverse on to mixed ground.
