Up on ‘The Slabs’, above Conwy, the crag was proving much less shelter (and sunshine) from the cold northerly than I had hoped for. We were well wrapped up, but could still enjoy the views of the castle and estuary from the cliff. 

And also got to watch a low flying hurcules do a fly past over Llandudno and down the river! 

It’s a great place (especially when it’s warmer!) to be teaching climbing. I had a really mixed group of students, but we were able to find something for everyone to work on and achieve. Beginners to lead climbing with gear placements – we covered a lot today!
