Gully opposite Monks Cowl

I had a good look at this gully from the top of Cowl - have some pics with it choked with snow. looks like a straight-forward climb. Let me know if you want the pics.

So, is there anyone out there who would like to climb a gully soon? I ended up very unfortunately getting flu this weekend and missed all the snow!

Wow, those ice climbing images r really cool. Yes i know, awful pun. It is amazing how thick that ice looks.

It must be the result of thawing of the river during the day and then as it flows down the falls freezing during the day, or later afternoon and night, thus adding layer upon layer of ice. If anyone knows the science, i would be interested in hearing if my theory is not correct.

Champagne South Gully should be in good nick about now. This photo was taken on 7 August (excuse the graininess... there was lots of spindrift around!) - looks like a spectacular route:

WOW!!! Going need to make a plan to do this route soon!

This pic gives an idea of the gradient. Taken 16 June 2012.

Has anyone been down from where the 'snowy' photo was taken?

My brother, a friend & I went down that route last year & it was quite hectic at some points (for us at least)

Can anyone compare that to Ifidi perhaps?

The route opposite looks a bit too daring for my liking, but who knows

Hah!

I have stood here!! But never even though to look in properly. Probably too distracted by the view beyond. Thanks all.
