Rain has stripped away any ideas of more skiing or winter climbing this weekend! But after a dry morning, we took our chances in the Slate Quarries above Llanberis..
We were hoping to get a quick climb in, but after getting the ropes out, racking up and setting off, this happened...
...and a few minutes later, it was tipping it down! After some brief indecision to see if it might stop, Clare reversed the starting moves and we legged it! Some rock types are ok to climb in the wet, but Slate isn't one of them as it becomes very smooth and slippery. Back to The Cottage...
