Single and Multi-pitch rock climbing ropework skills in Snowdonia. Organisation of your rack leads to more efficient gear selection
What I covered during these days
We looked at racking gear, systems for rating your placed gear, rope/sling belays, belay stances/organisation, escaping from a rock climb and dealing with problems on route. Then did a few multi-pitch routes with route fining. Well done Max particularly in the hot weather!

After a few days of looking at your rope skills, your rock climbing grade will be close to your technical grade. We will look at racking gear, rating your placed gear, rope and sling belays, belay stances and its organisation, escaping from a rock climb and dealing with any problems encountered on route like having to lock off your belay plate or escaping from the system to get help or help your second or lead rock climber.
We will then climb some multi-pitch rock climbing routes practicing and developing route finding skills both from using the guide book and reading the rock by looking at the wear on the rock to cap it off. I will then recommend some rock climbing routes to get you going afterwards.

Welsh 3000s 14 peaks challenge traversing the main ridge
The Welsh 3000s over 2 days is still quite a challenge and a much more pleasant way to achieve all the peaks over 3000ft. in Snowdonia. Rachel put together a team of friends which took this challenge on. What a good job they did. The first day was Snowdon and the Glyder range and the second day the Carneddau range. It was a tough two days and they pulled through! Congratulationsits no mean challenge! A few photos have been put together showing some of the journey over the two days across every 3000ft peaks in Snowdonia. Well done everybody. Cheers Joe at Mountaineering Joe

Rock climbing on the South stack sea cliffs Bridget bridging out to take the weight off the arms
Rock climbing on the sea cliffs is as about exposed as you can get. That abseil in with all that commitment, the friction, the sea crashing in below you …all adds to the excitement of the rock climb. Biddy and Jamie just loved all this and had a great day on Castell Helen with perfect weather. Multi pitch rock climbing in North wales …if the mountains are not in condition then the sea cliffs can get some perfect climbing! Multi pitch rock climbing with Mountaineering Joe
