Summer is back in North Wales! Blue skies, 21 degrees and a light warm wind! We've had a busy time of things recently and spent most of the morning working at The Cottage. After a lunch, productivity started to wavier, and the great outdoors was calling, so we nipped out to the Skyline area of the Llanberis slate quarries for a quick 'refresh'!

We climbed 'Clash of the Titans' (6a) - all bolted, but take plenty of quickdraws! I didn't take long to climb, so we went back down and then climbed 'Mad Dogs of the West' HVS (5a). It's a great route, which could do with being loads longer. Follow the crack line, placing cams when you fancy feeling safer..

Before escaping through the short tunnel and heading back to The Cottage, we took a few minutes to enjoy the view and soak up the sunshine. Snowdon was cloud free and fully in view. Nice place North Wales, when the weathers nice!
