Take Two with Take Three to Follow

Its been the Widehorizans Christmas get together over the past few days which was hosted by Tyn Y Berth this year. Zoe who was down for this and dragged all her climbing gear across the country on the train was determined to get out and give something a go. Today saw us battling through the snow to try and get round to the north side of cadair idris although only making it to Dolgellau where we had to walk from, not that we didn't give it our best shot at getting up to Ty Nant but after three attempts we decided it was time to walk. Up on the hill we attempted to climb Rattler a little optimistic I know. Soloing the first pitch I then set off up the second pitch where I got a little higher then I did last Friday before all the Ice decided to part with the mountain which was interesting. Being beaten back on this route we dragged ourselves over to Gwth and climbed the first ice pitch which is a much larger more stable lump of ice which provided much better climbing. Hopefully with a forecast for more cold weather I may get up Rattler latter next week!!!
