Photos as promised from today's trip up "Nameless Gully" Cwm Cneifion.
Conditions up in the high Cwm were reasonable given the extensive thaw - But it has really taken it's toll on Devil's Kitchen - With no ice left on the key routes! There were a couple of climbers on "Cneifion Arête" but that was a rock climb today....2 others on "Tower Slabs" Which was in surprising condition, with a fair amount of solid ice on it! I opted for "The Nameless Gully" between the slabs & Easy Gully, as the top out on that one didn't have big wilting cornices hanging over it (Easy Gully looks dodgy with the cornice situation at the mo!). In terms of the snow condition, it could do with a good freeze - But towards the top of the gully it was just about acceptable.
Hope this helps
Darren.
