Idwal into Cneifion Arete

 I have been out with James and Rob today for some advanced scrambling at the end of their Classic Scrambles week whilst Huw teamed up with Justine. We had nice sociable climb up Idwal Buttress which was remarkably dry given the forecast. In fact we were so impressed with the weather we carried on up the Cneifion Arete which is when the wind, hail and snow arrived! Well done all

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.
