Im back! Once again I'm back in a National Park having fun and Adventures.
So where am I? Well on friday I was in the Snowdoina National Park, fighting for parking spaces with tourists and ex lectures. Yes once again I bumped into a lecturer near a mountain!
I met Will just before lunch time on a gloriously sunny bank holiday friday. We threw climbing gear in our bags and headed up to Idwal Slabs to see which classic routes we could get on.
Here is the run down;
Faith - we did the first pitch before catching up with the party in front, so we moved across on to
Sub Wall Climb - witch we followed up to the end of the slab. we then linked it to
Lazarus - this cheeky little climb led us on to the final tier of climbing and to
Grove above - which I had the pleasure of climbing.

After this rather long excursion we decided to head back to the bottom of the slab, which is possibly harder than climbing up it. and then hit up another climb. this time we did;
Tennis shoe, the other direct start - this cheeky little excursion up the side of the slab proved simply superb climbing. It gets its classic status due to just nice climbing.
The real beauty of living in the Ogwen Valley for a few days is the complete lack of phone signal. If you were in contact with me on Friday I was part way up a mountain. ;)
