A really fun trip, though rating slightly reduced due to extreme cold from burying ourselves in the snow to act as belay/anchor for mark! The walk up to the cave was stunning - glistening snow everywhere :) A bit tiring when off the main path though as we kept sinking up to our knees in snow!
Some crazy traverses in the cave, which as usual had my heart racing ever so slightly, but I managed not to fall and die so it was all good fun!

Some considerable faff in the morning after deciding not to do Juniper Gulf and do Marble Steps instead, only to get to Bernies and change our minds back again!! Following another re-packing of ropes, the trip was fairly efficient aside from the struggle of getting to the entrance.

The minus 8 degree change back at the car was a bit nippy, but couldnt take away from the fact we\'d all had a really great day. :)
