North West Face Route, Cwm Idwal




Yesterday was a very wet and windy day with 50mph winds on the summits and heavy rain showers all day - not an ideal day for climbing! The boys and I decided that a grade 2 scramble would be a better idea allowing us to wear big boots and waterproofs. Mike & Joe lead North West Face route with me alongside and then organised an abseil off before a blast up Seniors Gully and down the Gribin Ridge. As soon as I got down the pager went off and we were called to help a couple that had not read the weather forecast and were stuck on Crib Goch! The knees are slightly tired this morning!
