A Rainy Cwm Idwal
Torrential rain on leaving the bunkhouse, so rather than slog up a horrendously wet mountain, we ran round a lap of Cwm Idwal then headed for the pub.

As the M6 closed, we battled on through the Blizzard to the Lakes on Friday night. Greeted by mostly clear skies and high winds on Saturday morning, myself and Clay headed up onto Brown Cove Crags to climb Right Buttress Crack.
It was a fairly intense day with no goggles, heavy spindrift, 3 left gloves and chest deep powder in the gullies, but a good chance to try out the GoPro in some poor weather.
Today was another cold and white day, so I took Martha and Naomi along the Sron Na Lairig ridge. They didn't seem too tired after we summitted, so we completed the day with a traverse around to Bidean Nam Bian and a hitch back up the road to the car. Exhausting, but brilliant!
