Holiday - Northumberland and North Wales - Day 16 - Climbing Tryfan Bach

Northumberland and North Wales Holiday

Friday 16th June 2017
Today was our last day in North Wales. We decided to do some more Trad Climbing.  We headed back to the same area as yesterday - We planed to climb on Tryfan Bach.

We parked on the edge of the road and followed the footpath up to the crag.  At the bottom we looked at the toppo, identified the routes and picked one to start with.

Slab 1 - VDiff
Part 1 - 25m. Climb cracks then the slab past the left side of the boil to belay as for Crack 3.
Part 2 - 27m. Take the left of the two cracks above to rejoin Crack 3 near the top.

Once at the top we put our waling boots back on and set off over the top to the descent gully. Back at the bottom we picked another route.

Mossy Slab - HVD
Part 1 - 30m. Climb directly up the slab to belay by the large heather patch.
Part 2 - 17m. Head up and right to the top.

Back at the bottom again we decided to call it a day and head back to the cottage to have some dinner. Unfortunately tomorrow we go home. We have had a good holiday and have plenty of thing we want to do in both places on return visits.
