Sinister Gully & Crib Goch






I have been joined for the day by regular client Jim who is on my instructor mentor scheme. Today we headed up into Cwm Glas and climbed Sinister Gully. The guidebook gives this III (4) but it felt a grade easier as it was well banked out with snow and there was just one pitch of ice. The snow was in good condition once we were in the upper Cwm and the ice on the route was great. Once we topped out we decided to make the most of the excellent snow conditions and traversed Crib Goch in reverse, descending the East Ridge. A great day out.
