Jim and Lorenz to return to Snowdonia, in a bid to try some Classic mountain routes… and finally complete Lorenz’s conversion from Swiss Machine (There’s a bolt! Clip it!) to Trad Master (I’ve just led Yellow Slab with 2 nuts and a sling!)… You will need to operate as an independent team to join us on this trip as we are determined to tick off some key routes and may have Andrew joining us on the rope already.

Itinerary:

I am meeting Lorenz late on Thursday night with a view to head to Snowdonia early Friday morning… routes include some Classic Rock on Tryfan and the big link up routes on LLliwedd. We plan to climb Friday and Saturday and will probably camp.

If the weather is too bad, then we will follow the best chances we can find…

Depart on Sunday, hopefully a stop off at Cheddar Gorge (can’t let him miss that!) before lunch and then drop Lorenz at Bristol Airport.

Services: Bethesda and Betws y Coed have all you need… either road into the National Park.

Food: If we are camping, then carry your own food and we eat in the pubs at night.

Accommodation: Bring a tent…

Transport: Bring a car and a climbing friend!
