Heaps of folk on Idwal Stream which looked considerably better than yesterday. Central Route was fine; thick enough to take screws up to 15cm. The Screen got a couple of ascents, the Ramp too & we found Devil's Cellar in good nick; lots of chanderliery stuff to knock off the crux but it was still solid. choices of two finishes on to the right-hand variant. The back of the Kitchen itself is nearly there as is the Curtain. <BR/>Are you aware of any direct finishes off Central Route there look like some interesting possibilities!<BR/>Blwyddyn Newydd Dda<BR/>Geoff Bgeoff bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812099615698337718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291305980784345245.post-70561302255693065132009-01-02T16:59:00.000+00:002009-01-02T16:59:00.000+00:00Mark,Much the same story today02/01/09.

Devil's Cellar looks close to condition as do the two routes next to the Kitchen descent. Cwm Cneifion has plenty of ice on the left side; Tower Gully, Slabs & Nameless Face but Clogwyn Du is bare. Still enough for some fun. <BR/>Good to see someone is trying to provide a local update on conditions; good on you.geoff bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15812099615698337718noreply@blogger.com
