Sergeants Gully, Cwm Glas

I had decided to stay at home today and do Christmas type things. I managed a couple of hours this morning and then the snow on the lawn, the ice on the lane and the blue sky all combined to persuade me out - despite my best intentions. I teamed up with neighbour and friend from the Rescue Team, Phil Benbow, and we headed into Cwm Glas for a walk. We soloed up Sergeants Gully (II) which is described as an ice climb but was really, really wet! It was fun nonetheless. Yesterday I had a walk into Cwm Idwal with Skye and counted 17 people on Idwal Stream - they were also getting very wet! Sorry to Baggy who I called last night to say I wasn't going climbing - I am sure he had a great day out and will be reporting on his Blog later. I was back home for a late lunch and some chores!
