Llanberis Slate Climbing - Skyline Level

It's been a busy day today and a total stunner. North Wales at it's best! Finished the D of E Assessment and afterwards, went for a cooling swim in the Ogwen. Yes, that's right, it was so hot that a swim in a river was required! Then just before the sun set, we raced around to the Llanberis slate quarries and climbed a route on the Skyline Level.

Our climb is called 'Dr Ruby..(6a) and climbs a trad protected VS for about 20m, then goes up a bolted slab to the top. Really nice climbing, with plenty to hold onto, except for the final moves, which needed a bit of thought. Pulled over the top to a dazzoling sunset. Splendid.

What a way to end a day...
