Welsh weekend - Tryfan

Our new guide arrived on Wednesday, which pretty much marked the start of the May bank holiday weekend!



We finally got in an alpine start with setting off walking soon after 8 on Saturday. That was after an oh so scruffy breakfast by Luke W...






Headed up to the East face of Tryfan via Heather Terrace for an ascent of Pinnacle Rib Route. There was an amount of confusion with guides swapping names and routes on the maps but we were reassured by the number of people following us that we had First Pinnacle Rib under our belts. 


Luke W leading the second pitch - a lovely feel. 



The final belay...



Our route down entailed a worthy scramble down the northern ridge of Tryfan and we dropped down to Little Tryfan for a cheeky 2 pitch slab. A smashing day out.
