Now that the evenings are getting longer it's getting possible to sneak out of an evening and get some decent climbing in (take those head torches just in case!). So, Monday evening me and a friend decided to get out and, because there was a chance of rain and we didn't have loads of daylight, we headed for Tryfan Bach, in the Ogwen Valley.

Now, I know Tryfan Bach very well - it's a popular haunt for taking newbie climbers as it's easy to get to and it sits at a nice angle so it's not too daunting - but I've never actually climbed there except when taking people out. I had a lovely surprise - it was great!! I love slab climbing and we managed to fit in a couple of climbs on the main slab which were a joy. Of course, it helped that we were out of the wind, the sun was shining straight on to us for most of the time, and the rain held off (phew!).

Just goes to show - you can go back and visit the same old places with a different head on and find lots of new fun!
