Multi Pitch Climbing

 I’ve been out with Chris and Rachel today on the first day of our multi pitch climbing course. We headed up Hope on the Idwal Slabs and then they lead the scramble off, including rigging their own retrievable abseil. At that stage the rain and sleet arrived so we headed to the coast in search of dry rock that didn’t quite materialise. A great day out in the mountains but still very cold!

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
