Here are a selection of photo's from my CIC winter climbing hut weeks this year. A bit late I know, but the end of the season was very busy and then holidays beckoned for a few weeks. They were a challenging couple of weeks with huge amounts of snow to start and high avalanche risks on approaches.

Matt on minus 3 gully after a spooky approach

Paulo's team swimming / poling / breaststroking up to try and get to minus three.

One of Matts team on Minus Three

Eastern traverse on tower ridge

Protecting the traverse, any which way!

A wild spindrift day on Vade Mecum

Jonathan topping out in similar conditions

On the way to Zero gully / Slav climb combo. A great route.

Stuarts revenge for earlier in the week. (It always looks worse than it is!)
