Aug Bank Holiday weekend

Me John, Karl and Charlotte spent the weekend in North Wales.
Few hrs on the Slate Saturday afternoon, then onto Pete's Eats for dinner.

Sunday we headed to Tremadog which started with passing showers, but by midday the Sun was shinning.
Me and John did Meshach VS 5a ** and Vector E2 5c ***
Karl and Charlotte did a few routes, one being Cream E4 6a ***

After a few beers we headed back to the Achille Ratti Hut.

Monday me and John headed for Gogarth on Anglesey and surprisingly the only people in the Wen Zawn climbing A Dream of White Horses HVS 4c *** then onto Britomartis HVS 4c ***

Karl and Charlotte were back onto the Llanberis Slate.

Top weekend Climbing.

Heron Crag 22nd Aug

Me and John headed up to Heron today, for the Hard Rock classic of Gormenghast E1,5a ***
The main part of the crag is very clean, but some of the right hand routes could do with a serious clean up. The likes of Lago E3,6a and Mean Feat E3,5c both require a clean.
We also did Side Track VS,4c **

Another great Hard Rock tick to the Logbook.
