Neil Colgan Hut Weekend. August 13 - 15, 2021.
Amazing weekend up at the NC hut. Approached via the Schiesser Ledges, mostly difficult scrambling with two sections of 5th class, could say three but there's a chain to add with the first difficult section. Went up Peak 3.5 on the way to the hut and Bowlen for sunset. Intention to do other peaks while there, however most routes aren't in condition sadly. Plus on day 2 the smoke rolled in and we didn't have any views. Oh well, the hut itself is an incredible destination and glad to have gotten peak 3 and peak 3.5, will have to return for the others :)
