But after digging out the tents the skies cleared. The forecast is for a change in the weather but still no high pressure is on the cards. The mountains are caked in snow and even thinking about getting on anything in the fall-line of any major snow slopes would be suicide. Today we broke trail through deep powder up glacier uptowards the mountain house weaving our way through Cathedral size buried crevasses - WHOOMPH - an area the size of a football pitch settles, we all stand stock still waiting for one of us to disapear into a bottomless hole. The Bridge holds out and we continue.
We have spotted a possible unclimbed line on London Tower a 1000m west face, which seems to fit the bill as objectively the line looks safe to attempt in these conditions, That said its starting to snow outside again now as I type this...Keep your fingers crossed for good weather tonight and will go scoop the possible line out in the morning
Oh yes on a lighter note, Johnny Boy Baker managed to leave his boots out in the snow last night, school boy error or what. Today he's been a broken record, moaning with - my feet hurt, give me some dry socks, you dont care, I hate you bla bla bla bla.....Whatever Baker.
