North Wales Rock Climbing

Llanberis Sunset
The amazing top pitch of Lubyanka
Rob on Lubyanka
Helen on Main Wall


Nick and Philippa were in North Wales, we had stunning weather and a week off, it doesn't get much better than that! Highlights of the week included Mrs Pitt's graduation to E1 leader and Philippa leading VS again for the first time since her accident 2 years ago. We climbed on several of the less busy Llanberis crags, Esgair Maen Gwyn (Scimitar Ridge), Clogwyn Gafr and Cwm Glas Bach. Top routes of the week included Pulsar E3 6a, Sacred Idol E3 6a, on Clogwyn Gafr, Weasels Rip My Flesh E4 6a on Craig Cwm Glas Bach and El Guide Direct E3 5c on Hidden Wall. The high point was a day on Cyrn Las where the girls did the ultra classic Main Wall HS whilst Nick and I were next door on Lubyanka E3 5c.

North Wales Rock Climbing

The Mermaid Who Shed Her Glove
Steve Franklin and I climbed at Craig Doris on the Lleyn on Monday. Steve did the whacky Cripple Creek E3 5b and I did The Mermaid Who Shed Her Glove E4/5 6a.
