Over the last few days the weather has been fantastic over the majority of mountain ranges in the UK. The later half of the week saw us out and about in North Wales working on a Mountain Leader Training Course. High level camping allowed us to check out the conditions on many of the higher crags, most of which were in good condition. Llech Ddu near the Black Ladders appeared to be drying out despite the rain in recent weeks, at a guess Cloggy will also be coming into good condition.

Parties were also seen climbing on the East Face of Tryfan and on Glyder Fach (pictured). In the Peak District things were quite busy particularly for Simon King and Ben Hull, who climbed VS's on approximately 13 different crags on Saturday.
