Becky made sure she had nice, sharp tools for the trip!!!
Here I am about mid way up a fun climb (blocked by the rock prow in this first image...)
These first two shots were taken by my dad from across the gorge.

If you recall the gully Katie was sitting near in the piture above (the upper Scottish Gully - WI2),
this is where Katie did her first ice climb - here's some shots of her near the top.
