Longer Long Climb

On March 1, 2013 by Tim Neill

Out with Rudders again today up on the Ben. With a gloopy thaw yesterday and a rapid cooling down through last night conditions were unbelievable. A few routes we’d missed the boat on, but The Long Climb Finish to Orion Face caught our eye. We managed to make it longer by climbing between Slav route and the Directissma to arrive at the foot of the eye catching groove you can always see from early on during the walk in (if you know where to look). Lots of pitches that were continuously interesting and another sunny summit.

Looks like it’s lasting for a while yet! 🙂
