Rock Climbing Weekend




I was joined for the weekend by Michelle, Ellie, Adam & Chris for a weekend of rock climbing. Yesterday I took Michelle and Ellie for a day of lead coaching at Holyhead Mountain. I had taught the boys to lead a couple of years ago and they had passed the skills onto the girls but thought that a day of coaching would hone their skills and improve their climbing. We managed to push their grade in the sunshine and had a great day out. 

Today I took all 4 on the Cneifion Arete. They climbed in two pairs with me hovering around between them generally offering advice and taking photos. The route got us high enough to catch a breeze and avoid the midgies and was climbable in big boots to allow for the moist conditions!
