Don't get much time free as have young kids but have bagged a day free next Sunday (1st March)

I recently bought an ice axe and crampons and did a walk up Daear Ddu Ridge, I quite fancy something harder in the same snowy vein. My climbing partner has axe but no crampons (maybe I could bully him into renting some?).

Alternatively (and I think my partners preference) we might go and do some rock climbing in Lakes maybe Corvus or maybe pushing our grades on something single pitch if dry - my thinking though is that it might not be so fun if bloody cold.

Any suggestions? Needs to be driving distance from Manchester but long day ok.

In reply to noteviljoe:

Too vague? Too newbieish?

How about if I specify something in Snowdonia? And say that I am a happy climbing low grade rock stuff and walking up hills in snow (but nothing much more).

I guess we won't know what the conditions are going to be till next week but I'd love to have a bash at a gully - something like http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=65333 maybe?

Am I right in thinking that grade 2 ish stuff would be ok-ish to Solo?
