The splitters in the 3rd shot look cool.

yah, quite easy, i lead the one the climber is on in the almost-rain of the peak district and i'm by no means a trad climber (yet). nice climbing though 5.7ish, but only 40-50 feet.

the slabs in the picture below it were scary on top rope, can't imagine them on gear lead.

there was an old school german climber who has lead E hard and was with Sharma when he sent the DWS who was on hand to teach crack climbing and generally tell us our foot work was crap. really cool guy, I might climb with him for a few days over easter or another holiday.

From Snowdonia, North Wales. Did two Grade II-III mountian routes this weekend

The first, First Pinnacle Rib or Tryfan is supposedly mega classic. nice route, 6 pitches, mostly exposed, roped scrambling with the occasional 5.6 move. Two cruxes, an unprotected 20 foot 5.8 slab on P4 and 40 feet of exposed 5.7 climbing on P3.

Sunday we did West Face Ordinary of Carig yr Ogof. 4 pitches, 350-400 feet of 5.6/7 sustained, runout (30-40 feet standard) climbing. Not as 'classic' but a much better route. smearing corner crux above 600 feet of air.

the most usefull pro overhere seems to be an asortment of slings as the horns/flakes better than the seams for gear. anyone familier with north wales would attest that consecutive sunny, warm, windless days in febuary is a near welsh miracle.

Pics arn't in order, sorry

Sorry for all the images, but it has been awhile since I have done any climbing photos, so here is a full scale drive by crag assault. Only took me 30 minutes to jug 60 feet today (and we are not even going to talk about the little bit of climbing I did). So. Out. Of. Shape.

wow wes. now i really miss the gorge. those are sharp, esp the series with the person in the orange hat. the 4th in that series is perfect. where did you all climb?
