Like most grade VII+ climbing it can be time-consuming finding hooks and good protection. But the major crux of the day was the weather. High winds, heavy snow and unbearable spindrift made for difficult upward progress!
Steve made it part way up the cracked wall on the 3rd pitch, but we decided to rappel. Time was pushing on and we had both left our head torches in our sacks!!
Lesson learnt... Don't climb something so hard in such harsh conditions.
John and Steve had a good time on Andromeda, but topped out into ferocious winds.
Another difficult drive home due to heavy snow and a incident on the A9.
