Multi pitch rock climbing in Llanberis Pass Snowdonia. A day practising rope skills for big rock climbing routes. We rock climbed First Test a VS in the pass . It’s sustained with plenty of opportunity for various climbing techniques like drop knees, bridging, hand jamming. Very much worth 3 stars. The next rock climbing route was Phantom Rib on Clogwyn y Grochan which was weaving about the cliff requiring good route finding skills. A good route that has the crux on the second pitch.
