I have been joined today by regular client and friend Jason for some winter climbing. Yesterday was fairly warm and this has resulted in the snow level lifting to about 800m. On Clogwyn Du it looked as though the crag had been stripped of hoar but had then started to re-form over night as there was some fresh hoar frost. First off we climbed Clogwyn Right Hand (III), the snow was soggy at first but conditions improved on the 2nd and 3rd pitches. The turf was still frozen and there was still ice in the chimney. We descended Easy Gully and then had a play on Tower Slabs which gave a nice 60m pitch of ice at about II/III. It is forecast to be colder overnight and tomorrow so hopefully the snow will firm up again.
