Another day another success, I met Craig at 9.30a.m in the Ogwen Valley for some more Morocco mountain training. Today's focus was moving together while using a rope so when we get to Morocco we are slick and safe. So with a skinny rack and even skinner rope we blasted up to Cwm Idwal with our eyes on The Y Garn East Ridge a grade 2** although it was well with in our abilities it was the perfect venue for honing our rope work and practicing climbing in big mountain boots. It always amazes me how effectively you can climb in a pair of mountain boots and I really do enjoy walking in, climbing and walking back in the same footwear. After some spicy maneuvers on variations up the scramble we pottered up to Y Garn summit and back down via the Kitchen. All in all it was a great day out with fantastic scrambling conditions fairly dry and very little breeze.
