Gnat Attack is a classic (scary!) slate climb - tiny holds on a blank slab and not many bolts - only two on the whole climb. It's twelve meters up to the first bolt, so requires a steady head, commitment and confidence. We've both climbed it quite a few times, but it never looses its edge. It was good to get focused, get a buzz and make the most of what has been some fantastic weather.
Earlier during the day I was running a student Orienteering event. We had a great turn out and there was a real festival vibe at the start line with pumping music and everyone really fired up for the race.
I had to run the course to put out the markers in the morning and then again in the afternoon to pack away, so got some good exercise as well. The view of Llandudno and the North Coast was uninterrupted from the top of the hill.
And as if that wasn't enough, I also ran a short bouldering session at the wall - in exchange for a well-received ice cream from the students! When the weather is good like this, everything feels great...
