Clogwyn Du'r Arddu & Llanberis Pass




I have been joined for the day by Kurtis & Danny who are both on my Trainee Instructor Mentor Scheme.  Both guys are aiming for the MIA and so wanted a day of multi pitch cragging on VS 4c ground on a mountain crag. We decided to head to Cloggy and have a look at Longlands Route. It was very wet in the gully that gains access to the foot of the route so we headed for Curving Crack. We climbed the first pitch and then bid a retreat which gave us the opportunity to look at multi pitch crag evacuation before we headed for the sunshine of the Llanberis Pass. We climbed Crackstone Rib (Severe) in two pitches looking at stance management and belay equalisation. It has been another stunning blue sky day.
