Morocco

Had a great week in the Anti-Atlas Morocco, near Tafroute on the south side of the Ameln Valley. The weather was hot and the climbing was bold and adventurous. Also had some great company Steve, Joe and Anna.

Had a great couple of days in North Wales. We arrived Monday lunchtime and had a look at conditions in the Ogwen Valley and decided there was none, so headed to Tremadog, got a route in before dark and ended up staying for the next day as well.

Burbage North

Went out to Burbage North this morning for some bouldering. It was cold and crisp this morning. The top outs were fine, the crags dry and the friction was great, even the wind was on side coming from the east so when the sun came out it warmed up slightly, great morning bouldering.

Kinder Scout

It was fairly windy today on the hill with hail shower every so often. I was out with two people who wanted to improve there navigation. We looked at map to ground, contouring, timing and relocating. In all we had a good day out.

Burbage Valley Walk

It was a great day for walking around in the Peaks today, the weather was fairly warm and the showers were light. Had some great view's of the surrounding area when not in the clouds.

North Wales

 

Edging into the snow line.

Had a great day on the hills in North Wales. Decided to go up Pen yr ole Wen, via the Craig Lloer Ridge. The combination of the wind and winter showers made it more exciting.
