Description

10.00 - 19.15, 7.2km, 720m. Ogwen Valley, North Wales.
Cloud base 2100- 2200ft, fresh snow above 2000ft, winds light, temperature below freezing. Two friends from the GMC. Ogwen Cafe, Llyn Idwal, Cwm Cneifion via left edge of Idwal Slabs, Clogwyn Du Gully-Left Hand Branch (IV), Glyder Fawr, Devil’s Kitchen, Ogwen Cafe. Companions had difficulty on crux of the climb. Had problems finding the path into the Devil’s Kitchen. Stayed in Lletty-llwyd hut, Deiniolen. The crux wasn`t fully formed, I used a tension traverse into it and then climbed on very thin ice!
