Good weekend on ice

On a weekend we set off early to grab the last of the welsh ice. The ice was okay but as the day progressed the ice got thinner and thinner. As we climbed the first pitch we realized that water was running underneath the ice. When we arrived at the belay we realized the second pitch was not in condition as there were thin icicles dripping over us. This meant we had to retreat out right onto a steep scree slope which led us to a small icefall that looked in okay condition. So we climbed that to get a second pitch. The belay wasn't great and the top of the second pitch as there were just some thin icicles to wrap slings around. After abseiling down on a few thin icicles we packed our bags and as the sun was setting we walked out of Ogwn to the car. All in all an absolutely amazing day out.

As of yesterday training began again lots of climbing on plastic as the weather is still poor but the hopes are high for good weather on the weekend
