Wales

On the 12th of June 2012.  I, Dan and Tony went to Wales on the train, we went to consolidate what I had learnt on the previous trip.

 

On the previous trip I learnt to do trad leading, and I lead a few of the famous routes that I had heard of before I went.  On the consolidation trip I lead 2 pitches and Dan lead the other one on dives/better things HS4b.  I had heard people talk about the 3rd pitch on dives/better which I lead.  One of my favourite climb was Grooved Arête which goes almost to the top of Tryfan where Dan lead 4 pitches and I lead 6, I enjoyed the 7th pitch called Knight’s slab because some people go along and up and others go up and then along (the same as how a knight moves in chess).on the last two days there was very heavy rain which was not very nice as we had to pack up in the rain.
