Our long awaited trip to Wales coincided with the start of global warming, with forecasts of heavy rain all weekend! At least the drive down was uneventful and dry!
On Saturday morning, we parked in a very damp and dull Lyn Ogwen Valley, just by the start to the grade 1 scramble on Tryfan.
Although they probably shouldn't/wouldn't be needed as the north ridge is grade 1, we took the ropes, slings etc with the idea of practising if neccessary.
"Think the sun is trying to get through!"Sadly this didn't happen, which is why there are no photos of the route.
We did get this profile of the ridge though, as we made our way down and back to the car, just as the sun came out - briefly!
