Teaching Multi Pitch Climbing

Over the past 4 days I have been out with Kaylegh teaching her multi pitch climbing. With the weather as its been its hard to believe its the beginning of November with the weekend seeing Cristal blue sky's and sun blessed rock well it would have been if we were not on north facing crags. We kicked off on Saturday at Milestone Buttress climbing Rowan Route followed by Direct Route with prity much the crag to ourselves. Sunday saw us heading into Cwm Idwal were we climbed on the slabs up Hope and then Charity where we looked at belay construction, still only one team on the slabs all day despite the fantastic weather. With not such a good forecast on Monday we decided to meet at Tremadog although awaking to a Cristal clear alpine like morning we trusted the forecast and continued with our plans and climbed Hail Bebe, Oberon & Sheer Khan R-hand where you could see the weather had turned in the mountains. With a similar forecast on Tuesday we went to another favorable venue for bad weather being Clogwen Yr Oen in the Moelwynion rounding off the 4 days with Slick, Slack & Kirkus Direct. 4 fantastic days climbing in November without a drop of rain touching us.
