Cemetery Gates E1 (5b) - Llanberis Pass Rock Climbing

A crazy busy day in North Wales and seems like ages since I was last at The Cottage. I got a lot of outside jobs done first-thing as the skies were indicating a possible change in the weather.

Then raced out to meet up with visiting friends, Barney and Sinead in the Slate quarries on my way over to an afternoon birthday party.

 

After a very sociable cake session met back up with the guys again for an evening climb on the Cromlech in the Llanberis Pass. Cemetry Gates felt steeper than I remembered and we both felt pretty pumped at the top. Barney (and his forearms!) had to deal with the meat of the route, while I got away with the easier top pitch.

 

Made in down to Llanberis for food just after 9:30. Limited options, saw us in the Indian, which was showing no signs of closing when we left just after 11! Great to be hanging out with the Irish team again and enjoying some easy laughs and good company!
