North Wales - In Search Of Dry Rock

Lena finding the moves on The Hyll Drem Girdle (HVS). Carreg Hyll-Drem - An awesome crag which is fantastic for wet weather. Lots of the rock stays dry - but it depends on the wind direction a little.
Exciting climbing. A little 3D. 4 pitches of fun, looking out at the rain a few feet away - protected by the massive overhangs above.

This climb is excellent.


We tried to climb the Classic of the crag 'Hardd' E2 5c - but it proved to live up to it's name - funny that !! . Here Lena is on the 5c moves that lead up to the start of the traverse (spot the need for a waterproof jacket!). The guide says that this is the perfect climb option for a wet day, but ironically, the slab traverse moves were wet and so we made a retreat (I wonder if that great DMM offset No.8 has been claimed by somebody yet) - A return match will be made on a DRY day when there's no scary wet 5c slab!!
