Holyhead Mountain - 11th April

On the Wednesday, 11th April, we headed to Holyhead Mountain with an open mind. The weather was brilliant for us, and we had fantastic views of the mountains of Snowdonia. Catrin decided to get stuck into leading straight away, and she started with D'Elephant (VD) on the Central Slab. Catrin climbed easily, and focused on good ropework with the double ropes, and a high quality of gear placements at regular intervals.

We then moved on to the Sub Slab and Catrin led Hat (VD). Hat seemed to be a much better quality climb, being more sustained and with cleaner, more solid rock.

We all had a great day in the sun (although I put a jacket on towards the end of the day). Tomorrow Catrin will lead again, but also top-rope some harder climbs.
