Description

Day 2 of developing trad skills. Focus on placing and judging gear.
*Routes climbed in series with maximum amount of gear placed.
*Routes then repeated on Top Rope while I jugged along side. This allowed the client to climb, place gear and receive immediate feedback without the requirement of a ghost lead or other issues relating to lead climbing.

Area : Gogarth and Anglesey (Holyhead Mountain)

Mostly sea-cliff climbing and mostly quartzite with a few very minor outlying shale outcrops and quarries. The main cliffs and Castell Helen are multipitch, tidal and serious of access and egress. The routes are awesome. Do them you must, with respect due for seasonal restrictions, nesting birds and the seriousness of the situations. If conditions are not suitable for the main cliff there are some very pleasant climbs on Holyhead Mountain. Some lovely little gems can be found further afield at, for instance, Rhoscolyn and Smurf Zawn.
