We headed along the ridge as the wind increased a few people passed us having abandoned their climb due to the prevailing conditions. The ridge is a much shorter and less exposed version of Crib Goch but the mist meant that that was not noticeable. There is a lot of ups and downs along the ridge and one in particular near the end of the ridge is a steep descent. It was near this that my foot got wedged briefly in a gap i misjudged slightly....The sympathetic comment "well at least you won't be blown off" was soon forgotten ! My photo is nowhere as good as Hivisibilty but sadly the fog/mist is more likely than his good weather ! Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/B2522/comment/22205/

Unusual monument

Near the beginning of the arete there is a monument to Robert Dixon who died in a fall here in 1846. Sadly my no means the last unfortunately. Care and experience is needed on this scramble Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/B2522/comment/22206/
