In a last minute change of plans I decided to not take my group of students on the planned valley hike and instead go up the south ridge of Tryfan. They were keen for a challenge and the conditions in the mountains were as good as the could be for some scrambling.
The nippy northerly wind that has been with us all month remained, but the skies were clear and while we kept moving, we also kept warm. There was a dusting of fresh snow on the higher summits and the air was crystal clear.
This was my first time to the summit this year! And also the first time scrambling with a group for a long while too. It felt good to be out and about and to have been able to make the most of the chance to get 'up high'.
