We backed off the Left hand start and eventually toped out onto the ridge and dived down the South side as going back to the Corrie would have been a bit dodgy down Way Up Gully. Poachers looked great and Umbrella certainly was a fantastic route, but with a missing umbrella. Ice varried from Good to brittle to iron hard on the top pitch.<br /><br />All the best<br />Callum Horne<br />PerthAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344007840548698398noreply@blogger.com
