Nick wanted to go and climb some mulit-pitch stuff in N.Wales.
I didn't want to spend my time queuing.
So we decided to visit the Moelwyns.
I emails the usual N.W. URC posse to declare our intensions but received
only a couple of 'have a good time, I'd like to come but......'
Well we did; have a good time that is. Must have been your good wishes!
Then late on we had a 'nothing better turned up, so think I'll join you'
from JohnM.
We welcomed him aboard. Arnaud's loss was our gain.
The trip had been planned to be a Friday evening to Sunday evening do but
young Nick soon whittled that down to early Sat. to late Sat.
Saturday 12th August.
Off we went on Saturday morning, JohnM. suggesting we take the Clwyd
Limestone Guidebook as backup as he had spied from the Met-Office Radar site
that it was raining in Blaenau. Well we didn't need it. The Web info. was
right though. We learned this from two locals who were leaving the carpark
as we arrived. They were setting off to go fishing for brown trout up in the
mountains and had delayed their departure until the rain had stopped.
We were surprised by the number of teams around. No queuing though, so that
was OK.
We went to Clogwyn Yr Oen and opened with Kirkus Climb Direct,a severe on
which JohnM and I swung the lead. JohnM. taking the best pitches. Did he
have prior knowledge I wondered?
This route enjoyed, it was Nick's turn to try out leading his first
multi-pitch route; the purpose of the trip. He selected Slick, which turned
out to be an excellent V.Diff. route, which he climbed in great style,
making his day. I partnered Nick as JohnM. explored the cliff, kept a
watchful eye on Nick and soloing the parallel route of Bent (with what
looked like a challenging top two pitches).
Next it was time for JohnM. to make a selection.
He made an excellent choice of the first pitch of Pinky (which I had
declared an earlier interest in), followed by either Plasma or Ectoplasm on
the head wall above. (think these names are right, I have no guidebook to
confirm them)
I set off on Pinky which proved to be a very pleasant V.S. 4b 120ft (in old
money) pitch.
Nick's turn to sit it out and do some bouldering and take some pics.
JohnM quickly followed and then set off to find the start of the H.V.S.
routes he had suggested. We agreed on the 5b of Ectoplasm, it being a
straight line with no route finding problems and a straight pull for me if
needed!
In the event the route proved an excellent choice. A bit thuggy to start and
one tricky section after the 'spike'. JohnM delivered his usual sound
performance and I managed to avoid the embarrassment of requiring a tight
rope.
It was an excellent day. The rain threatened a couple of times but held off
and we all got something out of the day.
It would be good to say the usual, pictures are on www..... but I don't
have that facility and in any case the batteries on my camera ran out, Nick
forgot to put the S.D. card into his camera and I've yet to see if JohnM.
managed any shots.
Thanks for a great day out and my thanks to JohnM. for getting me up an
excellent H.V.S., steep but with really good holds.

Sounds like a good day again the Moelwyns. You took me there on my last
day climbing in the UK, so I can confirm that you should have some
"insight knowledge" to Kirkus' climb direct as well. BTW, you missed
out on leading the nice pitches back then too ;-)

Good to see you on here, Stefan.

I think that just confirms what we all knew, that John is a very unselfish
person!
I'll archive the excellent TR to the usual place, when I get an opportunity.

If you read the report again, I was the one that got the three climbs in, so
much for unselfish. Alzheimer's I reckon!

Yes we still meet up. There is usually a shout for a Wed. or thursday
outdoors in the summer though and weekends too.

Is the JohnM mentioned in the TRs John Marsland by any chance? If so
send him my regards. I climbed with him on a trip to Tremadoc with the
CCCC some while ago. Somewhere I have some photos that I keep meaning to
add to my website.
Cheers,
Mike
