Advanced Scrambling



I have been joined for two days by Dave & Mark for an advanced scrambling course. Today the boys wanted to get on some grade 2 ground to see what the grade was like and to look at some ropework for looking after less experienced seconds on grade 1 ground. We climbed North West Face Route (2) in Cwm Idwal and then cut across the top of the Idwal Slabs to gain the bottom of Seniors Gully (1) via a short abseil. We then used the gully to look at use of the rope alone to protect the second. It was a little bit drizzly this morning but generally pretty good. A nice day!
