Multi pitch rock climbing in Snowdonia. Learning to lead trad on Rock. Sometimes it’s not the actual climbing that holds back for trad climbing but setting up of the belay in the appropriate manner to avoid tangles and allow things to run smoothly. Running through your rope techniques and stance organisation on belays is a good way of feeling confident to climb on Rock and increase your grade. Multi pitch rock climbing with Mountaineering Joe
