More news from Snowdonia


Hi Rob,
Another great couple of days. Yesterday went up Central Gully (II/III), Glyder Fach. Quite sporty in the lower section, with an ice, rock, frozen turf mix! Good neve then into the broad gully. Nice at top too weaving through all the huge bouldery rocks onto the plateau. Came back into the cwm via col gully then went back up a litttle II gully onto the tail end of Gribin Ridge. Batts went in camera so no pics I'm afraid.
Little gully(II/III) today on Trinity Face. The icy crux corner low down was a bit thin and had to break out rope and a bit of gear half way up, maybe time I found a buddy! After that it was pretty straightforward snow ramps and icy turfy corners. Came back down Gribin, no snow but nice scramble. Staying cold and snow forcast early next week.
Carl
