Nice day out. Set off from home by train, took the sherpa bus from ByC to Capel Curig and then walked most of the way through the Ogwen Valley, until got a lift for the last mile or so. Got down at half eight, just in time to meet up with Uncle Richard!

boulderer74 - 2nd O/S - 02/Feb/12

Cold, but clear at start. Hail/snow on final pitch! Very enjoyable lead, but very cold - gloves needed! Third day of initial Ex Indian Tiger training. Weather deteriorated quickly as we descended.

Leclev - AltLd - Aug/11

Tom P1&3, Me P2. Mega polished, but perhaps the more interesting for it. Great variety throughout and the hand traverse and the gap that lies in wait at the end of it were awesome.

Microwired22 - AltLd O/S - 09/Jun/11

Did in three pitches. Very polished. Moments that felt more hvd if not severe on several sections, chimney actually wasn't as bad as guidebook suggests. Left traverse is psychological as feels bold to start, but secure once on it. Some nice climbing.
