I guided Snivelling Gully today, Jan 26th. The route is in very good shape. We climbed a variation off of the first big horizontal ledge - thin ice just climber's right of the bolted rappel anchor (visible in the picture below as the leftmost white strip).This variation avoids the deeper gully feature of Snivelling where there is often open water. I got a couple of good 13 cm screws in the first 10 meters, then good 16 cm ones. Spring like day up there with wet stains growing on the rock by 1 pm.

Happy trails,
