Chairlifts and ice screws

The highlight of the day was wondering how to get on/off the chairlift with our climbing sacks and walking poles whilst retaining some dignity!

First obstacle out the way there we were gearing up with everyone else. Only to discover the guides mostly racking up ice screws. Well with one ice screw between us (which we left in the car), we wondered what we were doing up there!

Also while we were busy chatting away to people all the other climbers were overtaking us and establishing themselves at the base of the routes.

After blagging one 'get out of jail free' ice screw from a friend and with people now queueing for the prize routes, we thought it sensible to stick to something easier and did a lovely little route called the Web.
