This week has seen warmer temperatures across the Alps, and several of the ice climbs have now started to go out of condition. Still several classics are in very good form including Nuit Blanche that saw an ascent yesterday, and the Argentiere Cremerie icefalls pictured in this photo from Rob last week. At altitude the ice looks like it will remain in good condition through until at least late March. If you still want to get out to the Alps this season to get your ice fix, we have 2 spaces left on the Winter Intro course on 11-17 March; http://www.icicle-mountaineering.ltd.uk/winteralpineintro.shtml
