The next morning the cloud was down on the glacier ... about half way up. but being a simple glacier walk, with few complications we chose to go for it.
The start was OK and we made good progress to the cloud. from here visiility was minimal and we blindly followed the trail in the snow.
Breaking through a small conice (that was not there when we came back in later years, so we were not on the simplest route.
A quick pause for photos with another party who emerged out of the gloom, and we set off back
From the hut in daylight it was easy to see where the cloud reached ... it had not moved all day so we continued straight on back to the valley. However we had attained our first peak of the year.
