Winter climbing in the Ramsheads from last year. 21-Apr-2013 At 11:43:47 PM bultitude

Not super sure on the grade, my understanding was M4 was anything vertical and M3 was less than vertical? Winter grades are always super fun to try and figure out! Don't have a topo photo at the moment, but when I'm in the ramsheads again ill take one.

With regards to Seaman's Hut, I know it is an emergency shelter and usually camp near it so you can cook/chill out inside during the evening. That said last time I was there there were THREE groups all sleeping in there all of which reckoned it was usual practice for people to do so all winter. Some cops were doing an exercise with NPWS on snowmobile and stopped by for tea and didn't even seem surprised there were people there. If you d have a fire you should be super conservative and save enough wood for an emergency obviously.
