The Ben kicked Arse today!!
Well, my enthusiasm for a steep ice route was dashed this morning. 6 of us arrived at the CIC Hut, and it was blowing it's socks off. Lots of teams turned around and went home.
We decided to do Garadh Gully, which was a good choice and was protected from the Easterly wind.
The Fun started when we were heading back down to the CIC Hut.
The wind was strong enough to lift you off your feet. It put me on my arse a number of times. Nathan's climbing helmet got blown away but Glenn got the biggest kicking. He got launched in the air, landing on his ankle, hip and face. But he did a valiant job getting off the mountain with a damaged ankle and bloodied face.
Roll on Norway next w/e
