Fools Gold, E1 5c, bus stop quarry.
It’s been on my tick list for a while, along with Gnat Attack (also E1 5c). Yesterday I lead both climbs.

Two very contrasting Slate routes, both very enjoyable. One is a bold and delicate slab, the other is quite a steep crack line

Kader enjoyed Fools Gold on second so much he decided it should be his first E1 lead. He cruised up it. Good going!

On the way to Rhyd Ddu we had to stop to get a picture of the beautiful fog in the valley

Under prepared, overweight and a broken/bruised rib. - LL 100mile course reccy. The second hardest thing I’ve ever done

I can’t imagine getting to buttermere and knowing that there’s 75 mile left. I was finished off!!

1st quater was fun and enjoyable but mainly on my own.

2nd quarter I had company and was glad I had someone to follow.

3rd quarter back to being on my own but legs started cramping up.

4th quater and the cramp for worse and every step was a gamble if it would abate or stop me dead. When I could run I got stitch.

Ribs (injured last weekend) was a bearable but like constant stitch pain and did limit taking a deep breath.

Back to the drawing board. Plenty of time to train yet.

Crackstone Rib, S 4a, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 star route #llanberis pass.

The first 2 pitches of this could be linked but then you miss the opportunity to get some pictures of the leader on the traverse.
.
Granted, it would be a better picture if we’d climbed earlier, before the sun was directly behind Chris who was on lead.
.

After this traverse there is an exciting move onto an arête (the rib from where the route gets its name) where you climb up to a ledge to belay. The move onto the arête places you in a fine position with air beneath your feet. It’s a gem of a route.
.
The last pitch also has an exciting move traversing back left after a corner.
.
Been promising Chris we’d do this route for ages, he wasn’t disappointed!! 🤩

Snowdon sunrise with Sky Blue Adventures this morn

Snowdon sunrise with Sky Blue Adventures this morning. Up at 2am, blown around and wet walk to the summit. clients all happy and over the moon with their achievements.

Back in bed by 11am for a few hours before climbing with Chris this afternoon. Crackstone rib In the pass, getting Chris on the exciting pitch onto the arête. Cracking route and real nice climbing.

Now ready for bed… again.

Quality day in a quiet part of Snowdonia. Mur y Ni

Quality day in a quiet part of Snowdonia. Mur y Niwl is a stunning route with a “bouldering start” above a dead sheep.

P2 was Tom’s lead, which involved a hand traverse out onto an arête and a hanging belay with nothing but space below your feet.

P3 gives another exciting hand traverse where the exposure is out of this world. With no foot holds, you have to smear on tiny edges while trying to forget about the space below your feet. Move quickly before your hands tire and cross the void.

P4 gives a tasty little crack and P5 has and amazing, sloping quartz ledge. Teeter across this to the final corner of P6 which is easier ground but quality climbing up to a pinnacle and a slab.

Can’t believe this pitch is only VS 4b, Grim Wall at Tremadog. A quality route. The 2nd pitch is a bit steeper and more challenging but still fun at VS 4c.

A day climbing on Gogarth. Such in intimidating place.

We were fairly sheltered from the strong wind when we were climbing, but with the waves crashing below your feet, there’s a psychological challenge to climbing on sea cliffs.

Sunrise on snowdon this week. It’s been a long time coming because my last 4 summits this month have all been miserable!
