After France I was psyched to get back out on some ice and so headed back to Ben Udlaidh today. As we left the car park at 7am I was surprised to be the first ones walking in. I was psyched for Peter Pan or The Croc which have seen a lot of ascents over the past week, but having never climbed with Alex before we decided to get on some of the easier lines; we managed to miss most of the queues (there were apparently twenty seven cars in the car park) and climbed South Gully of The Black Wall, Mustang Sally and Green Eyes. All three routes were in relatively easy condition with loads of hacked out ice, and sections of solid neve banking out in between, but it was a great day out getting three good routes done in the glorious sunshine.
