A couple of weeks ago I managed to get over to North Wales with Tim Evans, for a quick blast on the Black Ladders. I had wedding duties the following day so we picked the relatively straightforward Central Gully (seen here as right hand line).
The route is a classic grade III gully and we couldn't have picked a better day for it. Bomber neve most of the way!
Despite the brilliant condition of the snow, there wasn't a lot of it! This made the cave pitch fairly interesting... Often this would be banked out, hence the grade III, but we had to climb a direct mixed line straight through. Bloody great pitch, but came close to flying several times!
Topped out in fantastic conditions about mid day.
And then home in time for wedding stuff! God I love North Wales!
