After delays for carbide, and thunder, and laziness, finally set off to put another bolt in. Lots more snow landscaping before the bolt was finally started above last year's snow platform - sitting on more snow. The bolt was nearly in when shouts from above indicated lightning - and immediate evacuation. Between Simon's bolt yesterday and the new bolt (c 20') the rope has a nasty snow rub which makes prusiking horrible, and at least one ice/rock rub; the rigging needed here is difficult to conceive - perhaps a 10m ladder would help (DEFEATIST!). The next pitch will be very free, perhaps 20m ? then a walk off. This is proving to be the world's most frustrating pothole ! Very impressive electric storm on surface.
