Saw someone climbing a not quite complete central trinity yesterday... mentallist!

In reply to The Rorster: Bizarre! Easy Route in Cwm Cniefion was still just about hanging in last week, but the snow quality must have been appalling.

In reply to Mike Peacock:

Good heavens! Get on the grit for the love of god!

In reply to The Rorster: I assume you mean the splendid isolation that is Rhinogau grit, and none of this Peak rubbish?

Though I find it's more time to kick start the gorge scrambling season myself.

In reply to Mike Peacock:

Nooo, Yorkshire Grit.

In reply to Rampikino: Silly idea. Why would I travel to Yorkshire when I live in Snowdonia? Tut tut.

Just out of interest, is there still much snow left on the tops and in the gullies? Not intending to do any routes, just interested to know how long it's taking to melt after this winter season's substantial snowfalls.

In reply to The Rorster:
As we drove past Idwal Cottage on Sunday there looked to be just enough snow on Easy Route in Cneifion for you to pick a continuous line from the bottom of the (upper) cwm to the top of the headwall. I dread to think what the quality of it was like though!

In reply to haydn: Here's a pic from Idwal on Saturday afternoon. Not the best but you can see Corner Gully and Easy Route:

There was a hell of a lot more the weekend before though.

In reply to Mike Peacock:
