Back on the Sunny Slate

Blue skies and sun heated slate made for some good climbing conditions today! Felt good to be back in North Wales, enjoying the views and a bit of rock climbing.


Went up the the top of the slate quarries above Llanberis for maximum sunshine and view appreciation. There was a bit of snow on top of Snowdon and the ocean was gleaming the distance beyond Anglesey. When it's good here, it really is great!


The route felt really nice, with fun interesting climbing on positive holds; a combination of trad and bolt protection. I'd recommend it as a great pitch, but make sure you have two ropes as there'll be loads of drag otherwise. 


Amazing to be able to go here yet be so close to home...
