Great End 8th February 2010

Another great day, a Monday so not too busy but still a few other climbers on the crag. Very claggy – poor visablity -when we got there so not having been there before we didn’t really know what was where. We headed to the eastern side of the Crag, found some icy bits and frozen snow. Also found foot steps coming down and thinking it might be climbers using Cust’s gully as a decent we followed them. It cleared as we got near to the top and we were treated to a brilliant view of Great gable and Green Gable. From the top we were able to identify the top of the two gullies which were actually Cust’s gully and Branch Gully. So of course we went back down and climbed up Cust’s gully.

The snow was frozen and firm but trampled. A excellent day.
