Having returned and unpacked from the Peak District we've decided to stay put and spend a few days in and around the local neighborhood. After a very wet weekend, the skies finally cleared to reveal a little dusting of snow upon the tops of the mountains here.
We didn't quite get a frost, but out of the direct sunshine it's very cold. Not rock climbing weather and barely cycle touring weather. We did go out on the bikes though, to visit friends and even had tea out on the sheltered sunny terrace in Rhiwlas.
On Monday, we went up to Castle Inn Quarry as it looked like it would be sheltered from the cold winds. We were right and enjoyed the feeling of a Spanish rock climbing holiday in the warm sunshine.
The climbing is really convenient and you really don't have to walk far from the car!
Castle Inn Quarry:
- Route 1, 5**
- Route 2, 6a*
- Appenzeller, 5+
- Smartie, 5+
