Multi Pitch Climbing North Wales

Rob, Steve, Sam, Darren and myself have been over in North Wales for the last couple of days climbing with members from John Lewis Venture Club.

The weekend has been characterised by warm and sunny weather; ideal for multi pitch climbing in the mountains.

On Saturday Rob Jarvis visited Clogwyn y Grochan with Neil and Guy climbing 'Phantom Rib' VS and 'Brant Direct' HVS. Diane, Jane and Sophie visited Milestone Buttress with Jeiff, Hanh and myself climbing at Carreg Wastad.

Sunday saw slightly different teams visiting, Tremadog (Hanh pictured on the 'Micah Eliminate Finish' to 'Christmas Curry'), Milestone Buttress, Clogwyn Bochlwyd, and Clogwyn y Tarw.

North Wales has been busy with many teams climbing over the last few days, with a few notable ascents and failures! Rob tested the fall from the top of 'Resurrection' E4, allegedly about 35 feet while Jude Spanken made a clean stylish ascent of 'Lord of the Flies' E6. On Saturday Dave Macleod may have made the third ascent of 'Trauma' E9 on Dinas Mot (we could see somebody from the other side of the Llanberis Pass).
