We found some afternoon peace today in Penmaenbach Quarry where the temperature on the van thermometer was reading 19 degrees. In the afternoon, basking in April sun, it was sheltered from the wind, gave incredible views, well-bolted climbs and a generally splendid feeling of wellbeing. Having left the guidebook in the car by mistake, we just climbed the lines that we either knew, or that looked good. The rock was warm to touch.
Even though we were enjoying the rock climbing, it was the kind of ambience that just made you want to sit and look. Apart from the faint buzz of the road far below, at sea level, all was quiet...
Rather than climb right through until darkness, we decided to make a move once the sun started to get close to the horizon, but stopped briefly on the walk out to revel in the views and remind ourselves of what a great place we live in.
Once down by the sea, the sun was setting and we made it home before dark... What a place to live...
