Jacob's Ladder

Mark, Becca and I headed up Jacob's Ladder today whilst Ron was over to the right climbing the gully alongside with Morris. There was a big queue at the belay for Hidden Chimney but nobody else on Jacob's Ladder which pleased us!

The snow was soft but good for plunging the shafts of the axes into. The cornice at the top was not a problem though the gap just behind it was a surprise!

Compared to yesterday, it was a much better day but still so mild and now the snow has disappeared from my garden, I can see the first of the snowdrops coming through.
