I've just got back from Kinlochleven, I took my girlfriend ice climbing for the first time at the Ice Factor. She absolutely loved it, so I thought I'd show her how good it is outdoors - climbing that is. I'm off work on Wednesday, so I'd really like to get up to the lakes and try one or two grade 1 climbs with her. Has anybody here been up around Esk pike this weekend? If so, what were the conditions like? Any snow, ice etc?
Failing Esk, does anybody know of any grade 1-2's that are in condition around the lake district?
