I left an amazing party to ensure that I was up in time for another Dad’s day out. Today it was Llion, Ben, Martin and myself. Who aimed to find some rock and climb it. Our 10 am start didn’t look good as the cloud, rain and snow plague our approach to Tremadog, and the lack of any wind meant things would be slow drying.
An inspection of the Vector Buttress for a dry route or two revealled a considerable amount of damp rock. So we headed to venue B Hyll Drem, hoping that the girdle might be dry, but no. The whole crag was soaked again.
A tip off from Pat Littlejohn about a bouldering venue at Criceth had us driving very optimistically towards the Castle and a Snow Storm. The venue was soaked when we got there, but was way more impressive than it looked from the road. Martin stacked a load of boulder and Ben and I took some photos, rather arty for a bunch of climbers!
After two hours or more of driving around we gave in and went Beaconeering again. Felt strong, but probably because I have been going a lot. Started doing circuit for power endurance. I think my goal of 8a this year might well be a realistic thing, although must remember to train everything, running this afternoon me thinks!
