Not enough time on the Rock….
Climbing at Trinity House Walls, S Stack…..a great route of my friend Owain’s called Friend or Anenome….
Its been a varied Spring and early summer occasionally climbing on the high crags but mostly on the lower sheltered options in and around the edges of Snowdonia for me…..often exploring new to me crags and trying as best I can to do routes I haven’t managed before….
Knee barring into the obscure Gogarth slot of Horse Above Water…
Work has been a great mix of techy rock climbing themes (including 4 weekends of Big Wall Training) and a fair bit of Alpine Prep as well as a bunch of MIA related work….so all really engaging and thinky…
Big Wall classics at Tremadog on a damp day… A1+
Teaching multi pitch Leading at the Main Cliff, Gogarth…
Occasionally I’ve been away to the Peak and further afield and had a great trip just before the alps mopping up a load of classics from Extreme Rock with Lee Dog…
Our Father, Stoney Middleton, Peak…Extreme Rock blinder…
And a few tricky classics at home that I hadn’t got around to so far….
Team ascent of Spider Pants on the Slate….E6…trickyness..Rudders styling…
Jon sending the brill Nimitz out on the sunny bit of the Little Orme….quality E5 stuff
Will enjoying the wild Agrippa on Craig yr Ysfa…one of the best, least known E1s in the mountains here..
And so a couple of months flew by….stacks of rock climbed…a few highlights and regaining previous bests….then it was early June and sights were set on the Alps….
