Never never land

A day at the zoo

Ibex wall

Dinorwig quarry

A very wet day started off at the usual time of 06:00, headed out for Petes eats in Llanberis. Full English and coffee, then of to Never Never land in Llanberis quarry.

Rain and high winds hampered the day, diificult moving on the slate paths, especially when heading up onto the top to fix the ropes for the first route, exposed and windy. Throughout the day you would hear the odd clatter as a piece of slate came winging down somewhere from hell.

Slate Pizza

Your order has arrived sir.

This piece fell from the route i was climbing just missing Dean, cool calm nerve from Dean held the day on this one.

Never been to Ibex wall before so it was a new experience to dry tool on Welsh slate, some great routes here with amazing leaning walls, out to about 15 degrees.

We started on Monkey bar at M6+, pumppy little number.

The day was hard as it never stopped raining and the wind was strong. we had to climb in full water proof gear, leggings the lot. Made for a difficult day, not much movement in this type of kit.

Ibex Wall, monkey bar

This is the lean off, camera held straight towards the back wall. Pretty impressive and very sustained climbing.

Looking out of the hut

Someone else had taken advantage of the hut to.

Fantastic day out, as arnie said
