Dave Macleod has just made a winter ascent of his own summer line Anubis on the Comb, Ben Nevis. Now he's still thinking about the grade, but bear in mind this is a summer E8!! WTF!!

Andy Turner has also climbed an impressive looking ice route on Ben Udlaidh's lower tier which a grade of VII, 7 has been given. Again a write up and photos on Dave Macleod's blog, http://www.davemacleod.blogspot.com/
Our planned trip to the highlands this weekend has been put on hold due to the ammount of snow which has fell over the last few days. See Dan Goodwins blog for some amazing photos which really captures the situation up north http://mountainplan.blogspot.com/
We cancelled as i suspect climbs are going to be buried at the momment, thats even if you can get to them, drifts of fresh snow being meters deep are reported up in the Cairngorm's, and the avalanche risk will be pretty high at the mo, so stay safe out there!
Ben Udlaidh or the NW may be a wise choice this weekend, the routes are seeing quite a bit of action on Ben Udlaidh recently, although the forcast is predicting fairly strong winds for the weekend.
