I'm going to try and reprint it without the cold head and using Ilford 00 and 5 filters and see if it looks any different.

Brrr! makes me feel cold, must turn down the aircon.
Have you tried a pre flash to hold highlight detail? Also it looks to me to be too high in contrast and slightly over exposed, you may also want to try a 4 instead of a 5 just to see.

The actual print isn't as contrasty as this jpg. It's seems to be a tough image for the scanner to deal with. I tried all the usual scanning tricks but it always came out mushy. The contrast in this file is mainly due to high-pass sharpening. The print is razor sharp.

@Eric Rose OK, I can relate to that, damn stupid scanners.

Ahh I miss the mountains, cold or no cold ... I gotta get the shot! This is a wonderful black & white image. How do you like FP4, don't have much experience with it, but some people from the darkroom group also use it, so now I'm interested.
