North Ridge of Tryfan in the Snow

Its been another tough day at the office today! I have been joined by repeat clients Matt and Karolina for a day of winter mountaineering here in Snowdonia. It has been stunning again with blue skies and sunshine, there has been a chill breeze on the tops though. We headed up the North Ridge of Tryfan and had the mountain entirely to ourselves all day. The conditions were great if you followed the well trodden path that has been put in over the last week and avoided the unconsolidated snow either side of it. We refreshed some crampon and axe skills and then refreshed the ropework that we use mountaineering on the upper section of the ridge. Another great day.

Not quite all to yourself. We were having a look up Nor Nor Gully which, no surprises, isn't really in condition. Some good snow in the top third tho and heather terrace is compacted nicely.

Hi Ross - maybe next week eh! The paths area all really good you just can't go off them yet. Glad you had a good day too.
