I'm happy to report that out of 20 courses so far this year 14 have made the summit, so we are actually slightly ahead of our 66% average chance of getting a shot at the top. Weather has been generally good though tricky at times, and several times we have had to break trail to get to the top, so well done to all those who made it under what have often been difficult conditions. Last year I personally made 8 summit attempts and only made the top twice (!) due to the conditions, but this year I am currently 6/6 and hopeful of finishing the season with a clean sweep. Conditions on the mountain remain good, so fingers crossed for the rest of the season. (John Taylor).
