Snow in the Slates

Yesterday the mountains were all clear....



But this morning there was fresh snow back on the tops!

 

Which didn't exactly give the perfect conditions for rock climbing in the Slate Quarries.

 

Between the snow and hail showers, we still climbed one route up at the Skyline level. There was snow on the ledges and numb fingers were to be expected!

 

It's not often you get a snowball thrown down at you as you're belaying on a bolted rock route!

 

We were sheltered from the wind though and when the sun came through, it had some good heat in it.

 

We decided that one route was enough though and descended down to Llanberis for Ice Creams by the lake!

 

Back at The Cottage, the hail storms kept coming through! April showers eh?!...
