They climbed an excellent and sustained 40m Grade IV ice pitch that starts towards the top of North-West Gully. The pitch takes a direct line up the obvious ice-filled groove and finishes on the upper slopes of the mountain, where the angle eases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was guiding Nick on the Cold Climbs route Deep-Cut Chimney,\u201d Ken explained. \u201cThe route was in great condition, with the crucial slabs on the left after the chimney well iced. After a further mixed pitch, we made our way up Central Gully to the point where Central Gully, and No.4 Buttress converge. Just down, and to our right, starting in North-West Gully was a very inviting and continuous pitch of ice, which neither of us could resist. It was a very fitting finish to a fantastic day!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ken Applegate and Nick Stone had an unexpected find on Stob Coire nam Beith on February 5.
