This week I'm working for Adventure Peaks, helping to put the final touches to Heather & Andrew's preparations for their Everest expedition in the spring. We headed up Ledge Route on the Ben to work on their footwork and efficiency over broken ground - key skills for the rocky North Ridge on summit day.
The Ben was looking in good condition although a number of the harder ice routes are still looking very thin. There were teams on Tower Ridge, Green Gully and Number 3 Gully Buttress
Andy Turner & Dave MacLeod were successful on Minus Three Gully as part of the Jimmy Marshal Project for the Fort William Mountain Festival.
