Ysgolion Duon (Black Ladders) in North Wales



Soloing up first pitches of Icefall Gully


Fab day in North Wales - two good routes, good company and blue skies! Very good conditions for early March - the ice was thick enough for good ice screw placements and the weather was perfect! Both routes were very nice, climbing felt easy and safe (enough ice!!!) however, again I struggled with building good belays.... Practise practise practise!!!
Overall it was possibly THE perfect winter day! Thanks Sean = )
