I have been back at the grind stone this week, teaching Intro to Rock Climbing. The weather has been rather pants early in the week. However I have been able to duck and dive, and be rather cuning and avoid getting wet, and still managing to climb outside.
Monday, we stayed in the wall until 3pm, and then went to fachwen, where we did some real climbing and basic ropework, return back to Plas Y Brenin late having enjoyed a bit of sun. The next day we went to Betws Y Coed, as far east as we could go to avoid the front moving in from the west. The wall of hate came in at about 2pm, but in the trees we stayed dry, and when we returned to the centre the full onslaught of rain began.
Today, we drive through the rain to tremadog, where the final tremadog corner kept the magic going as the rain stopped just as we arrive. The day great, the warmest so far. I think i have even managed to get a bit of colour in my cheeks!
Then I head up to Bus Stop for some Forsinain Motspur action. We warmed up and got instantly pumper on the route, and I had a couple of goes, on the second go I managed three overlapping sections. Including the first and second cruxes clean. Psyche for the climbing on it as well, as hard slate is all about the move!
With the weather set to stay good for a few days. I feel like I have artfully avoided the ming.
