I teamed up with friend Huw today for a days climbing on Clogwyn Du having seen how good it looked yesterday and it didn't disappoint! We climbed Pillar Chimney (V, 5/6), descended Easy Gully (I) and then climbed Clogwyn Right Hand Branch (III, 3) and then descended Hidden Gully (II). The conditions were great with hard neve, frozen turf and ice where you needed it on all of the routes. The chimney of Pillar Chimney felt straightforward to both of us and there was enough ice to ease our passage and some cracking ice on the top pitch. Clogwyn Left Hand is not complete but other folk had also climbed Hidden Gully and we heard voices elsewhere in the Cwm but poor visibility meant it was not possible to see what they were on. A great day out.
