It was forecast to be a bright start, so we opted for a 9am start to the climb. Rachel decided to give the climb a go, contrary to Doctor's advice, so I was a bit worried, but as always there were numerous people who were more likely to be airlifted off the mountain before she was. My favourite was the lady in high heels who was making a summit attempt. Mmmm.
The weather was good when we struck off, just maybe the top quarter of the hill shrouded in the clouds and we made it to the summit in around 2 and half hours. A little bit damp, but we then spent an hour in the new summit cafe drying out and warming up before the decent.
So one climb down, two to go. The only decision now is which pub we celebrate in.
