A CLASSIC WINTER CLIMB
With warming temperatures over the last few days we weren't too optimistic about our prospects of ascending in any of the gullies. As we approached Sky Head we could see that Great End still had plenty of snow so we carried on towards Skew Gill.
The snow had obviously been soft but had consolidated well overnight and was nice and solid.
After Skew Gill we climbed out into the sunshine and crossed over to Custs Gully which was also in good condition. At the top of Custs we descended the easy slopes to the right and cut back to have a look up "One Pitch gully".
