Despite iffy forecast, resolved to attempt a Classic Rocker.
Arrived at foot of Bracket and Slab, undeterred by occasional spots, geared up, NB set off.
First pro in at 5 metres, followed immediately by proper rain. Neither of us in the mood for a EPIC so we backed off. One Nil to the Norse Weather Gods.
View up to head of valley on walk out
Flirted with a Raven option, but the storm moved down the valley. So rather than go two down decided to head north up to Castle Rock of Triermain.
NB about to slay the Slab Route Dragon
AT led a Lilith / Companion Way combo, delicate and rather bold
Weather Gods 1
Team NE 1
RESULT!
Climbers in a fine position on Direct Route
